Treasury changes to support many workers in March payroll
Household chores and home upkeep are common tasks that usually do not involve direct payment, unless a professional is hired. These duties are often linked to traditional gender roles, a topic that has drawn attention in discussions about social policy and economic support for caregivers. In some analyses, such responsibilities are highlighted as a form of unpaid labor that can affect a person’s financial stability.
In Spain, it is noted that women who dedicate their time mainly to housekeeping may face income gaps if they do not hold additional employment. In response to this situation, the government introduced measures intended to help those who devote time to household tasks achieve a more stable income through public programs and financial support.
Adding Active Income
The government has mechanisms to provide economic support to individuals who primarily manage household duties, aiming to help them secure a livable income. One such mechanism is a financial supplement designed to add steady income, amounting to 501 euros each month and available for a period of 11 months. This allowance is intended to supplement earnings and provide a predictable monthly contribution.
