The Minimum Living Income (IMV) was one of the Government's star measures in the worst months of the pandemic , when many families saw their work and livelihood disappear in one fell swoop and an abyss opened before them in the midst of an emergency. sanitary.

An aid to prevent the risk of poverty of a minimum of about euros per month per person, which can exceed , euros in the case of larger family units (adults with several children), as long as % of the requirements are met. taxes, and that could be combined with other income to have a minimum income to support the household based on its members.


Although more than a year after its approval, this measure continues to give rise to a lot of talk, since everything indicates that it has not been as effective as intended and that another option would have been better than an income that has been delayed for too long. time for many citizens. And that, if it has arrived.

Something that would have allowed many families to have something to throw away during the worst months, although they would then have had to return a part if they had not met the requirements.
