Summary 

Quotes 

« Spending on this category of the population is lower than average for "old-age and survivors' pensions, sickness, disability, education and health". On the other hand, they are higher for "family, unemployment, social exclusion and housing". The balance remains positive in any case. And it could be even more positive if we improve our integration policies. »
