Description topics
- Total amount
- Wealth
- Wealth components are assets, liabilities, and non-financial assets. The sum of these components equals net worth. Up to and including 2010 these data concern the households sector including the non-profit institutions serving households. From 2011 onwards these NPISH are no longer included.
- Assets
- Assets are possessions of households. Up to and including 2010 these data concern the households sector including the non-profit institutions serving households. From 2011 onwards these NPISH are no longer included.
- Pension entitlements and claims
- Pension entitlements and claims of pension funds on pension managers and entitlements to non-pension benefits
Pension entitlements comprise financial claims that current employees and former employees hold against either:
- their employers;
- a scheme designated by the employer to pay pensions as part of a compensation agreement between the employer and the employee
- an insurer.
Claims of pension funds on pension managers and entitlements to non-pension benefits
For the Netherlands this category only relates to claims of pension funds on pension managers, entitlements to non-pension benefits don’t occur here.
An employer may contract with a third party to look after the pension funds for his employees. If the employer continues to determine the terms of the pension schemes and retains the responsibility for any deficit in funding as well as the right to retain any excess funding, the employer is described as the pension manager and the unit working under the direction of the pension manger is described as the pension administrator. If the agreement between the employer and the third party is such that the employer passes the risks and responsibilities for any deficit in funding to the third part in return for the right of the third party to retain any excess, the third party becomes the pension manager as well as the administrator.
- Non-financial assets
- Non-financial assets are objects which represent an economic value, on which property rights can be exerted and which do not have a financial character. In practice, this includes approximately all (non-financial) objects which can be sold. Examples of objects which cannot be sold are the sea and the air. Examples of assets which have a financial character are stocks and pensions. Non-financial assets consist of fixed assets, inventories, land and oil, gas reserves and consumer durables. The data relate to households including non-profit institutions serving households.
- Dwellings and land underlying dwellings
- Buildings used entirely or primarily as residences, including any associated structures, such as garages and all permanent fixtures customarily installed in residences. Houseboats, barges, mobile homes and caravans used as principal residences of households are also included, so are public monuments identified primarily as dwellings. Costs of site clearance and preparation are also included. Examples include residential buildings, such as one and two-dwelling buildings and other residential buildings intended for non-transient occupancy. Uncompleted dwellings are included to the extent that the ultimate user is deemed to have taken ownership, either because the construction is on own account or as evidenced by the existence of a contract of sale/purchase. Dwellings acquired for military personnel are included because they are used, so are dwellings acquired by civilian units for the production of housing services. The value of land underlying dwellings and costs of ownership transfers on land underlying dwellings is included.
