Dear Gilberto, Please find below a comment on your article by Emanuele Baldacci: do you think it would be possible to add a paragraph where the link between financing and benefits of social protection systems is discussed? Thanks and best regards, Louise

Dear Dominique,

I have added a short introduction at the beginning of the "Main statistical findings".

I tried to explain that the link between financing and benefits can be properly done at scheme (sub-national) level, while at national level there's necessarily a mixture of schemes, and the analysis can be only done separately for the two sides of the balance. I hope it's clear enough.
