The OECD’s Social Benefit Recipients Database (SOCR) provides a unique source of comparable information on the number of people receiving cash benefits across countries. SOCR includes data for the main income replacement programmes in the unemployment, social assistance, disability and old-age branches, as well as relevant income top-ups such as rent allowances and in-work benefits. It currently covers twelve years (2007-2018) for most OECD and EU countries.
