Abstract

The proliferation of minimum income schemes (MIS) has been linked to structural changes in modern welfare states in an era of multiple crises. Yet, they have been criticized for their limited effectiveness in alleviating poverty and social exclusion. Against this background, this exploratory paper utilizes a mixed methods research approach to provide an updated evaluation of the impact of the Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI) in alleviating extreme poverty in Greece. It is argued that, after 6 years of full implementation, the GMI proves to be largely ineffective in alleviating extreme poverty in terms of adequacy, coverage, and its enabling character.
