Historical gross replacement rates of unemployment benefits
Wat erin zit
Gross replacement rates (GRR) measure gross unemployment benefit levels as a percentage of the previous gross earnings. The index available here is defined as the average of the gross unemployment benefit replacement rates for two earnings levels (67 and 100% of the Average Production Worker wages), three family situations (single person, one-earner couple and two-earner couple), and three durations of unemployment (1 year, 2 to 3 years, and 4 to 5 years). For further details, see OECD (1994), The OECD Jobs Study (chapter 8) and Martin J.
