National Transfer Accounts (CNT, or NTA) constitute an accounting system compatible with the System of National Accounts. Through their methodology, they incorporate the age dimension into the recording of economic flows between different institutional units, such as households, government entities and financial companies. CNTs allow us to measure how people and families of different ages consume, produce, save and share resources, offering a perspective on the economic impact of demographic evolution. For its preparation, census data, household surveys, administrative records and macroeconomic aggregates from the National Accounts are combined.
For their part, the National Time Transfer Accounts (CNTT) introduce the gender dimension. They incorporate the valuation of domestic work and unpaid care. Its analysis allows us to examine how the sexual division of labor affects the generational economy, thus highlighting the interrelationship between the gender economy and the generational economy.
The National Inclusion Accounts, for their part, add the socioeconomic dimension, considering factors such as educational level, income/consumption quintile, and family structure. This breakdown is crucial to addressing inclusion and sustainability goals in the context of high inequality and aging populations.
The first day of training focused on demographic dynamics and methodology, as well as key findings from the National Transfer Accounts. The second day was dedicated to the concepts, methodology and practical exercises related to National Time Transfer Accounts and National Inclusion Accounts.
