How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the estimated regular duration of unemployment benefit or comparable income protection in months. It measures duration, not payment level.

Nomadino uses OECD Benefits and Wages, ILO social-protection data, MISSOC for Europe and national unemployment-insurance rules. Where programmes depend strongly on income, age or contributions, a typical regular entitlement for insured employment is harmonised.

The rating is calculated linearly: 0 months scores 0, while 24 months or more scores 100. Longer special programmes, crisis support or pure social assistance are not automatically counted as full unemployment-insurance duration.

The indicator measures time protection after job loss. Replacement rate, entitlement access, labour-market dynamics and general poverty are assessed in other indicators.
