Benefit recipients of basic income support: A differentiated look at help quotas

Abstract

"On their own average support quotas tell us very little about the basic income support situation. If one takes a closer look at the people who receive benefits under Book II of the Social Code one notices that there are differences between men and women, western and eastern Germany, and young and old. The highest support quotas in the population relate to children." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
