Definition: Social benefits in kind
ESA 1995
Social benefits in kind are social transfers in kind intended to relieve the households from the financial burden of social risks or needs. They can be subdivided into those where beneficiary households actually purchase the goods and services themselves and are then reimbursed, and those where the relevant services are provided directly to the beneficiaries.
