Bus/Financial - Insurance / Employee benefits
Dutch term or phrase: "afgeleide" (in this context)
The sentence below is part of a (very lengthy) set of pension plan rules.

"Onder algemene prijsindex wordt in dit reglement verstaan de afgeleide consumentenprijsindex werknemersgezinnen met laag inkomen, zoals berekend door het Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek."

I am hoping that someone can come up with the whole phrase: "de afgeleide consumentenprijsindex werknemersgezinnen met laag inkomen". Quite a mouthful. My main stumbling block, however, is the word "afgeleide" here.

subsidiary CPI
Explanation:
Simply a suggestion, based on the ILO CPI manual (which tells you more that you are likely to ever want to know about CPIs), and in particular Chapter 3 of the manual, with the following quotes:

3.95 In addition to a single wide-ranging official (headline) CPI relevant to the country as a whole, many countries publish a range of subsidiary indices relating to sub-sectors of the population. For example,the Czech Republic compiles separate indices for:
– all households;
– all employees;
– employees with children;
– low-income employees;
– employees,incomplete families;
– pensioners;
– low-income pensioners;
– households in Prague;

3.104 In effect, many statistical offices are moving towards a situation in which a database of prices and weights is maintained from which a variety of subsidiary indices is derived.
