  • The number of beneficiary households in the region amounts to 60,987, of which 11,853 are single parents.
  • In more than two-thirds of households with VMI, minors live, which is also 41.8% of the beneficiaries
  • The IMV with child support supplement has reached 41,598 coexistence units this month
  • “In single-parent households, most with a woman at the helm and children in their care, IMV is an essential lever at a difficult time, when supporting a family alone involves a huge effort. The benefit helps to give stability and security to these mothers and their sons and daughters,” said Minister Elma Saiz.

Madrid, August 7, 2025.- The Minimum Vital Income (IMV) in July reached 60,987 households in the Community of Madrid in which 187,386 people live, according to the latest statistics published by the National Institute of Social Security (INSS).

The average amount of the benefit in the region is 600.98 euros per month per household and the national average is 519.16 euros per month per unit of coexistence. Overall, the current payroll has amounted to 426.3 million euros.

As for the evolution of the beneficiaries in the region, in July 2025 there were 29,975 beneficiaries more than those registered in the same month of 2024 (+19%).

Due to the profile of the holders and beneficiaries, we can say that the IMV has a strong female profile, where 65.6% of the holders (40.024) and 54.1% of the beneficiaries are women (101,561), in particular, 1,229,040.

IMV and childhood

In addition, 41.8% of the beneficiaries are children and adolescents, responding to one of the main objectives of the IMV, which is to combat child poverty. In July, more than two-thirds of the households covered by the IMV live with minors, of which 11,853 are single parents, that is, they are made up of a single adult (usually a woman) who is in charge of minors.

One of the main tools to combat the risk of child poverty is the Child Support Supplement (CAPI), which is part of the Minimum Vital Income. This month, the IMV with this supplement has reached 41,598 units of coexistence in the Community of Madrid.

“In these five years, the Minimum Vital Income has proven to be an effective and essential tool to reduce extreme poverty and inequality, especially among children and adolescents. Behind every piece of data there is a life, a home that relies on this help to look to the future with a little more certainty,” says Saiz.

At the national level, this July the IMV reached 752,469 households and 2,299,000 beneficiaries with 112,501 active benefits more than there were a year ago in this same period, which represents an increase of 17.6%. In total, there are 519,011 households with minors, 129,655 single parents.

It is five years since the creation of the IMV, in which the Social Security has allocated 16,204.7 million euros to the payroll of this benefit.
