Childhood and IMV
One of the main objectives of the Minimum Vital Income is to combat child poverty and, in this regard, it should be noted that 41.86% of the beneficiaries in the Community of Madrid are children and adolescents (75,053).
In April, in more than half of the households covered by the IMV, minors coexist, in particular 54.13%. In total, there are 37,833 households with minors among which there are 12,040 single parents.
One of the main tools to combat the risk of child poverty is the complement of aid for children, which is part of the Minimum Vital Income. This month, the IMV with this supplement has reached 39,338 units of coexistence.
This form of IMV involves an aid of 115 euros per household per month in the case of children from 0 to 3 years; 80.5 euros per month for each child between 3 and 6 years; and 57.5 euros per month for each child between 6 and 18 years. The average amount of the supplement in April was 665.80 euros for each minor and 127.4 euros for each household with minors.
