Description topics

Resources
Revenue of institutional sectors.
Social contributions and benefits
Social contributions include social security contributions, private social contributions (among which contributions to pension schemes) and imputed social contributions. Employers, employees, self-employed persons and non-active persons pay these contributions. Social benefits are transfers to households, intended to relieve them from the financial burden of a number of risks or needs, such as sickness, invalidity, disability, old age, survivors and unemployment.
Social contributions
Social contributions include social security contributions, private social contributions (among which contributions to pension schemes) and imputed social contributions. Employers, employees, self-employed persons and non-active persons pay these contributions. Actually, the employers' part is paid directly to the insurers. However, in the national accounts, the employers' contributions are supposed to be part of primary income of households (i.e. the income from direct participation in the production process). Therefore, in the first instance these contributions are treated as payments by employers to households as compensation of employees, who are deemed to pay them to the insurers in the income account.
Actual social contributions
Actual social contributions concern payments, enforced by laws or (collective) labour agreement, in order to make social benefits possible.
Social security contributions
Social security contributions are contributions of households to social security funds.
Social benefits (in cash)

Final consumption expenditure
Final consumption expenditure consists of expenditure incurred by resident institutional units on goods and services that are used for the direct satisfaction of individual needs or wants or the collective needs of members of the community. Final consumption expenditure may take place on the domestic territory or abroad.
Final consumption expenditure exists only for households, NPI households and general government.

Actual individual final consumption
Final consumption expenditure by households refers to expenditure on consumption goods and services. In contrast, actual final consumption refers to the acquisition of consumption goods and services. The difference between these concepts lies in the treatment of certain goods and services financed by the government or NPI households but supplied to households as social transfers in kind.
By convention, all final consumption expenditure by NPI households and most of the final consumption expenditure by the government in the field of education, health, social security and welfare, sport and recreation and culture are treated as individual consumption.
So actual individual consumption is:

  final consumption expenditure by households
plus:  final consumption expenditure by NPI households
plus:  individual consumption by the government

=  actual individual consumption
Social transfers in kind
Social transfers in kind consist of individual goods and services provided as transfers in kind to individual households by government units and NPI households, whether purchased on the market or produced as non-market output by government units or NPI households. Social transfers in kind are intended to relieve households from the financial burden of a number of risks or needs, such as sickness, invalidity, disability, old age, survivors and unemployment.
Social benefits in kind
Social benefits in kind are social transfers in kind intended to relieve the households from the financial burden of social risks or needs.
Social security benefits
Social security benefits in kind consist of social transfers in kind, including reimbursement by social security funds, made by social security funds to households. Most of these social security benefits in kind are likely to consist of medical or dental treatments, surgery, hospital accommodations, spectacles or contact lenses, medical appliances or equipments, and similar goods or services in the context of social risks or needs.
