     ° Net replacement rates (NRR) during the initial phase of unemployment, 2001-2004
     ° Net replacement rates (NRR) for long-term unemployed, 2001-2004
     ° Net replacement rates (NRR) over a 5-year period following unemployment, 2001-2004

Country-specific files:

The analyses draw on detailed country-specific information about tax and benefit systems. These also contain illustrations of how net incomes are calculated in each country.
Calculated taxes, benefits and net incomes for a range of earnings levels and family situations are available in the form of so-called “budget constraint” graphs (See Chapter 2 of Benefits and Wages for details)
