Statement 1 (Unemployment Allowance), Statement 3 (Social Security Payments), and Statement 4 (Old age Pension) are examples of transfer payments. They are benefits provided by the state to support individuals without demanding current labour or services.
Statement 2 (Payment of Salary) is a payment made in exchange for services rendered (labour). It is part of factor income, not a transfer payment.
