In 2024, Eastern European countries like Bulgaria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic lead in net social protection benefits, with values exceeding 99% of gross social protection. Compared year-on-year, countries such as Greece and Poland showed positive growth, while Lithuania, Latvia, and Slovenia saw significant reductions. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) across Europe has shown mixed trends, with marked differences between regions.
Future trends may involve policy reforms impacting these values, particularly in Western Europe, where economic challenges could push for more efficient resource allocation. Monitoring socio-economic factors and governmental policy responses will be critical for understanding shifts in social protection dynamics.
