Abstract

The impact of the economic crisis on employment has revealed one of the main lacks of the social policy in Spain: the absence of an ultimate safety net which offers a minimum economic security to the population. Poverty levels in Spain have remained very similar during the last decades. However, the economic crisis is raising the percentage of people under the poverty line fast. During the past ten years, we have needed substantial rates of economic growth to maintain the proportion of poor people close to 20%; it is highly probable that the current situation significantly increases that proportion. The paper aims to contribute to the analysis of the minimum wages programs in southern Europe, by critically analyzing the impact of not having participated in the Keynesian fiscal policy during the fordist era on their present social underdevelopment. In view of this, the article holds that the actual incidence of the minimum wages in eradicating extreme poverty has been low and that their responsiveness to economic crisis almost null, so concludes presenting the Basic Income proposal.
