Social Insurance Statistics

Use when

Workflow

1. Locate relevant publication/table on statistics page.
2. Extract indicators by period/group.

Human setup (when needed)

Quality checks

• Preserve source terminology for benefits/services.
• Separate counts, rates, and monetary values.

Access reality

Request contract

• Use the listed primary endpoints as authoritative entry points.
• If API/query parameters are only visible in-browser, preserve exact request URL, params, and headers in output metadata.

Output schema expectations

• Keep at least: source URL, retrieval timestamp, publication/update date (if available), title/record label, and extracted governance-relevant fields.
• Preserve original field names when present in downloadable/API output.

Limits and caveats

• Confirm whether data is open-download, UI-only, or authenticated before claiming full access.
• Separate narrative/guidance text from measurable records.

Verification hooks
