Un nuevo derecho para la ciudadanía

The present paper focuses in the study and analysis of the recently approved minimum living wage through the Royal Decree-Law 20/2020, on May 29. The first part is a brief review of the main reasons that drove our government to establish this new non-contributory presentation of our Social Security system. This way, we establish the original framework where we expose the initial disadvantaged situation from Spain in terms of poverty and exclusion. The second part features some of the critics and challenges that the minimum living wage faces. Challenges that need to be addressed in order to succeed in the reduction of the poverty level in Spain.
