Measuring Universality in Social Protection: a pilot study on unemployment benefits
Arranz Muñoz, José María; García Serrano, Carlos; Hernanz Martín, Virginia
The purpose of this report is to analyse the degree of universality of unemployment benefits across EU Member States. This study builds upon the conceptual framework to define and measure the universality of social protection from Muñoz de Bustillo et al. (2020), and upon Arranz et al. (2021), who operationalize and test on a pilot basis the previous analytical framework for an EU Member State (Spain). In the case of UB, coverage should be measured using a percentage rate of unemployed covered by unemployment benefits, and adequacy using a replacement rate during the unemployment spell, i.e. the proportion of pre-unemployment income that is maintained after t months of unemployment. We rely on EU-level data from Eurostat and the OECD and propose an approach for measuring the adequacy and coverage of UB across the EU, discussing the pros and cons of different indicators. The best indicators are aggregated into a synthetic index of universality of unemployment benefits for each Member State. The report concludes with a set of considerations and recommendations arising from the measurement process carried out.

Measuring Universality in Social Protection: a pilot study for Spain
Arranz Muñoz, José María; Hernanz Martín, Virginia; García Serrano, Carlos
The aim of this report is to contribute to measure the universality of social protection in a European Union Member State using an approach set forth by Muñoz de Bustillo et al. (2020) based on metrics of coverage and adequacy. Based on the indications provided by the authors of the type of indicators that would be necessary for measuring coverage and adequacy of social protection programmes, we develop the operationalisation of the framework using relevant data and indicators for Spain with the idea that it can be extended to other Member States. The social protection dimensions covered are the following: unemployment benefits, pensions, social assistance and family benefits, health, education, and housing. We rely primarily on data coming from Eurostat, the OECD, and the WHO. We provide the structure of the system of indicators of universality, measure them in each dimension, and aggregate the indicators into a synthetic index. The report concludes with a set of considerations and recommendations arising from the measurement process carried out. It also includes reflections and proposals related to the concept of universality, the role of public provision of social protection, and data sources used and which other potential data series would be useful for measuring universality.

The challenges of teaching statistics to undergraduate business and economics students in Spain
Rivera Galicia, Luis Felipe
The enormous amount of data that we can use and manage is changing rapidly the way we
understand statistics today. Big data or business analytics are trending topics that companies need
to handle appropriately within their usual activities. However, little change has been done in the courses of business statistics for undergraduate students of business or economics in Spain. In this paper, we analyze the courses in statistics that are taught to undergraduate business and
economics students of our disciplines in Spain. Our findings show that little effort has been made
to include new techniques in the undergraduate courses, in which only classical statistical
methodologies are being taught
