Evaluation of Social Protection Performance in EU Countries: Multiple-criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)

Artykuł ma na celu uszeregowanie krajów Unii Europejskiej (UE) według złożonego indeksu, który wykorzystuje wybrane wskaźniki ochrony socjalnej z odpowiedniej bazy danych na poziomie UE – Eurostatu. Ostateczny wynik wskaźników społecznych za rok 2020 został określony za pomocą modelu CRITIC-TOPSIS. Badanie wykazało, że odpowiednio Austria, Luksemburg i Niemcy miały najwyższy poziom ochrony socjalnej, podczas gdy Łotwa, Rumunia i Hiszpania to kraje o najgorszych wartościach wskaźników. O wadze badań świadczy fakt, że społeczny komponent zrównoważonego rozwoju wciąż nie jest dostatecznie zbadany, zwłaszcza jeśli chodzi o zastosowanie metod analizy wielokryterialnej w empirycznej analizie zrównoważenia społecznego. W tym zakresie, w zależności od uzyskanych wyników, decydenci społeczno-gospodarczy mogą przeprojektować istniejące środki i programy, a także wysokość transferów socjalnych do niektórych krajów członkowskich UE. Autorzy spodziewają się, że wyniki badania pomogą w budowaniu wyższych standardów społecznych i dobrobytu w UE.

Słowa kluczowe:

zrównoważoność społeczna, ochrona socjalna, wskaźniki społeczno-ekonomiczne, ubóstwo, bezrobocie, metoda CRITIC-TOPSIS, kraje UE
