The Minimum Vital Income (MVI) reached 893,820 households in which 2,725,899 people lived, according to the latest statistics published on Monday by the National Social Security Institute (INSS). This social benefit was implemented by the Spanish government as a protection measure for people in situations of economic vulnerability.
Of the nearly 2.7 million beneficiaries, approximately 40.5% were minors, representing more than one million children and young people living in households that depend on this assistance. This highlights the significant impact of the benefit in covering the needs of families with children.
The MVI was created as a non-contributory benefit aimed at guaranteeing a minimum income for citizens and families at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The INSS statistics allow for detailed monitoring of the evolution and territorial distribution of this benefit throughout Spanish territory.
