Australia, Japan, Korea and New Zealand are part of the OECD (38) group. Data for Australia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand and the OECD average are taken from OECD (2022),Revenue Statistics 2022.
2.
2007 to 2018: Data for China are not included in this table as historical data on revenues from social security contributions are not available.
3.

SSCs in Indonesia include contributions from Death Benefit (JK), Work Accident Insurance (JKK), Pension Insurance (JP), Unemployment Insurance (JKP) and mandatory contributions from BPJS Health for formal workers. Contributions from the BPJS Health since 2018 have been estimated.
4.
