Housework and care are essential work for society to function. However, this work is not always done on a paid basis. The UN estimates that between cooking, cleaning, fetching water or firewood or taking care of girls, boys and the elderly, women do at least 2.5 times more unpaid care and domestic work than men.
In this way, housewives depend on a third person to cover their basic day-to-day needs. To try to remedy this problem, in Spain the State provides the most vulnerable people with an economic benefit with which they can maintain themselves. We are talking about the Active Insertion Income (RAI), which offers an amount of 501 euros per month for a total of 11 months. In this article we explain what requirements are requested and how to request it.
