4,000 young people from the ACV have requested assistance of EUR 300 per month to emancipate themselves this year
Currently, only 32.8 per cent of young people aged 25 to 29 in the Basque Country are emancipated. Young people believe that the ideal age to live on their own is 23.3 years, but the actual age for emancipation is around 29.7 years.
A total of 3,928 young people between the ages of 25 and 29 have applied for direct aid of EUR 300 from the Emancipation Programme of the Basque Government, which is granted for a maximum of 2 years in order to facilitate and consolidate emancipation in order to alleviate the economic burden of independence.
The largest number of applications have been made in Bizkaia (2,043), followed by Gipuzkoa (1,249) and Álava (636), as reported by the Department of Welfare, Youth and Demographic Challenge.
Of the total number of applications, 2,229 have been granted and 491 denied, 69 have been withdrawn, 24 have expired and 30 have been appealed, and 132 are still under consideration.
In the first two years Emancipation has received 12,215 applications : 6,271 from Bizkaia, 1,897 from Álava and 4,047 from Gipuzkoa. The average age of applicants is 26.82 years and the average annual income of young people is 18,991 euros.
In the first call (2024) 8,285 applications were submitted and 6,173 were granted, resulting in expenditure of 10.3 million euros: 1.59 million in Álava, 5.3 million in Bizkaia and 3.46 million in Gipuzkoa.
Currently, only 32.8 per cent of young people aged 25 to 29 in the Basque Country are emancipated. Young people believe that the ideal age to live on their own is 23.3 years, but the actual age for emancipation is around 29.7 years.
The Basque Government intends to reduce the minimum age for applying for this aid to 23 years. "Acting from the age of 23 will allow us to advance the support of the Basque Government at a key stage and to better align ourselves with the wishes of young people," said Adrian Lopez Sarachaga, Director of Youth and Emancipation.
