European system of integrated social protection statistics (ESSPROS)
The European system of integrated social protection statistics, abbreviated as ESSPROS, is a common framework developed in the late 1970's by Eurostat and the European Union (EU) Member States providing a coherent comparison between European countries of social benefits to households and their financing, thus making an international comparison of the administrative national data on social protection possible.
