Abstract: A quarter of a million Romanians receive the guaranteed minimum income, that is to say, the state's social support to those who do not have enough income to live in. More specifically, according to May (latest available) data from the Ministry of Labor, 248,987 Romanian citizens received social assistance. Compared to the total number of inhabitants in the records of the Ministry of Labor, it results that 1.17% of the entire population receives this guaranteed minimum income. In May, for which we have the most recent official data available, the average guaranteed minimum income paid to beneficiaries was 281 lei. The government paid 70 million lei for this aid in that month.
