The project coordinator was also invited to partake in the Bridging NTA to National Inclusion Accounts (NIA): Towards Socioeconomic Insights for Inclusive Policy Design workshop on the 13th of March 2025.
The National Transfer Accounts (NTAs) is an international umbrella system to help understanding how economic resources (i.e., income, consumption and public and private transfers) are produced, distributed and used across age groups. Drawing on the foundational NTAs, NIAs further disaggregate these flows by age, educational level, income quintile and family structure which is essential to address inequality, long-term public expenditures planning and fiscal sustainability.
