In Catalonia and Euskadi, the number of people with serious
economic and social difficulties is growing. Faced with the precariousness
the Catalan and Basque authorities elaborate minimum income programs.
These are economic benefits aimed at combating poverty and social
exclusion. This article examines the analogies and differences between the
minimum income benefits developed in Catalonia and the Basque Country.
Among these social policies implemented in both Autonomous
Communities, similarities and divergences stand out. The method used to
carry out the present study is field research.
