H2020 - Welfare Transfer Simulation (Weltransim)

Weltransim is a project of the Horizon 2020 Joint Program Initiative “More Years, Better Lives” second joint transnational call entitled Welfare, Wellbeing, and Demographic Change: Understanding Welfare Models. The centrepiece of this research was the development and application of the comparative dynamic microsimulation model microWELT. MicroWELT simultaneously depicts and projects key sociodemographic characteristics of the studied populations, as well as transfer-flows as captured by the National Transfer Account (NTA) accounting framework.
