Indicators' sub-group

The Indicators' Sub-Group (ISG) of the Social Protection Committee (SPC) was set up in 2001 to:

• develop and define EU social indicators to monitor member countries' progress towards the commonly agreed objectives underpinning the Open Method of Coordination for social protection and inclusion.
• contribute to the improvement of social statistics at EU level, particularly through development of the EU Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC).
• carry out analytical work based on agreed indicators and develop analytical frameworks to support policy reviews conducted by the SPC.

Organisation

The ISG:

• is composed of national experts in the fields of social inclusion, pensions and health and long term care from each EU country and the European Commission.
• is supported by the Commission’s policy analysts (DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion) and statisticians (Eurostat).
• draws on academic expertise through studies and specific contributions.

Current members include: John Bohan (IE), Chairman & SPC member; Rudi Van Dam (BE) and Volker Schmitt (DE), Vice chairs; Kornelia Kozovska, Secretary.
