Definition and measurement

The following figures present results from the 2018 OECD Risks that Matter survey (see Chapter 2 for more information about the survey). For Figure 3.6, respondents were asked whether they thought the government should be doing less, more, or the same as they are currently doing to ensure their economic and social security. They could also choose “don’t know” as a response option.

For Figure 3.7, respondents were asked to indicate whether they would be willing to pay an additional 2% of their income in taxes/social contributions to benefit from better provision of and access to the various different public services and benefits. They could chose as many as they liked, or none at all.

For Figure 3.8, Panel A, respondents were asked what supports they would need most from government to make them and their feel more economically secure. They could choose from a list of nine supports, and had the option of selecting zero, one, two, or three supports. In Panel B: respondents were asked to indicate whether they would be willing to pay an additional 2% of their income in taxes/social contributions to benefit from better provision of and access to the various different public services and benefits. They could chose as many as they liked, or none at all. Data on the Gini coefficient refer to 2015, except for Mexico (2014), income are based on disposable income (after taxes and transfers) from the OECD Income Distribution database.
