Some don't even apply for them because they either don't know they're entitled to them or don't even apply for them. This is a phenomenon known as <em>non-take-up </em>or coverage gap, leaving thousands of vulnerable people without protection. It is estimated that in Catalonia, 79% of families with children who could receive the childhood supplement do not; 18% of people who meet the requirements for the guaranteed citizen income do not benefit, and 66% of potential users of the minimum living income (IMV) do not either.</p>]]></description>
