Abstract
This study proposes a general aid system based on a mixed
financing model in Spain. To that end, it proposes that the different
aids available be merged into a single scheme to avoid duplications.
The proposed financial model factors in the tax base of
the unified aids on the one hand and the contributory part of
social insurance on the other. The main conclusion is that the
proposal is feasible, so long as a reform of the contributory aid
system is undertaken.
