Income Support

Income Support is a social policy instrument that provides monetary or quasi-monetary transfers from the state or other collectively financed schemes to individuals or households whose market income is deemed insufficient, in order to secure a minimum standard of living and stabilize income against contingencies such as low earnings, unemployment, disability, or caregiving responsibilities.
