Guaranteed minimum income is one of the most important programmes to promote social inclusion and combat poverty. The normative act regulating this programme is Law no. 416/2001 on the guaranteed minimum income, with subsequent additions and modifications. According to this law, the guaranteed minimum income is ensured by granting a monthly social aid, which is calculated as a difference between the level of the guaranteed minimum income provided by law and the net monthly income of the family or single person.
