The Minimum Vital Income.
This benefit, which is paid by Social Security, is having a particular impact on reducing child poverty, given that of the total number of beneficiaries, 42.8% are minors (676,288). Moreover, if we take into account the number of households, 65.6% have at least one child (368,069).
According to these data, in two out of three households, the benefit holder is a woman and, if we take into account the total number of beneficiaries, 54.3% are women (858,445).
The CAPI, which came into force in January 2022, is an allowance of 100 euros per household per month for children aged 0 to 3 years; 70 euros per month for each child between 3 and 6 years and 50 euros per month for each child between 6 and 18 years.
IMV information bus
The IMV information bus, an initiative launched by the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration last October, aims to inform all vulnerable people who are potential beneficiaries of the benefit but are not receiving it about it, and to help them to apply for it or to find out the status of their application.
This is an innovative initiative to extend the reach of the IMV and ensure that all situations of poverty and exclusion are addressed.
The information bus, which plans to visit 40 localities in our country, has already stopped in 20 municipalities and districts of seven autonomous communities where it has attended to 2,510 people.

Profile of the people assisted
In terms of the profile of the total number of people assisted (2,510) by this resource, 68% are women and 55% had already applied for the benefit.
