Single parents with two or more children will be recognized as a large family

The Secretary of State for Social Services and Equality, Mario Garcés, announced during his appearance in the Senate that the Government you have written a specific bill to recognize as many single-parent families with two or more children, a measure that has long been announced that he wanted to carry out during this term.

This comparison will mean that families with only one parent and with more than one child they will have the same tax benefits, discounts and bonuses that large families currently have.

Thus, and as we can read, Garcés has specified that families with only one parent and from two children will have the right to "all the economic benefits that exist for the numerous, as deductions and bonuses at certain rates and incorporated into tax benefits of taxes that fall exclusively within the scope of numerous, state, regional or local ".

Likewise, this project would also include raising to the category of "special large family regime" to all those large families with four children, and not five as currently considered.

Now we just have to present the project, agree and agree on it, so that this proposal that the Government has been proposing for some time is a reality.

Currently, large families have a series of tax and state benefits that can be applied for as long as they have a large family title in force, both general category (three or four children) and special category (five or more children) .

Single-parent families at risk of poverty

According to INE data, in Spain there are about two million single-parent families and in most cases the head of the family is the mother. Of this figure, about 53 percent are in poverty, according to the organizations Save The Children and UNICEF.

From the Spanish Federation of Large Families are shown in favor of granting aid to single parents with two children to avoid risks of poverty and exclusion, but not equating them to large families since they consider that the needs in one case and another are very different.
