Spain, unlike other Southern European countries, recalibrated its income maintenance system in the 1980s, containing its contributory programs and creating a set of means-tested programs. Despite its contribution to severe poverty reduction, this set has limitations and inconsistencies that have led to its reform entering the national political agenda since 2015. These programs, although more effective than their Italian or Greek equivalents, are still very much linked to a Fordist model that expects any job to be able to lift a household out of poverty. This model is unable to cope with changes in family structure, increasingly difficult access to housing and, above all, new forms of precarious employment. The article analyses the path of those guaranteed income schemes in which the new Minimum Living Income benefit may improve the coverage of existing social assistance programs but leaves unresolved its adequacy to the new forms of employment.
