There is no reference GDP for this country, so the share is not calculated.

Adults: 6,907,073 × SSP 800 × 12 = SSP 66,307,900,800

Children: 4,576,301 × SSP 400 × 12 = SSP 21,966,244,800

SSP 66,307,900,800 + SSP 21,966,244,800 = SSP 88,274,145,600

Offset benefits, recovered tax, administrative savings and later economic effects are not deducted. This is a gross cost, not a net cost.
