El gasto en parados se dispara un 22% en cuatro años: más de 2.000 millones al mes

The report indicates that the expenditure on unemployment benefits in Spain has surged by 22% over the past four years, reaching over 2 billion euros per month. This increase is attributed to factors such as improved salaries and bases of contribution, the revaluation of the maximum amount of the benefit, and the access of fixed-term unemployed individuals.

Despite a decline in the number of unemployed individuals, as reported by SEPE, the spending on unemployment benefits remains the highest in a decade, surpassing even the elevated pandemic levels of 2020. The report also highlights that the extraordinary regularization process for immigrants, which ran from April to June 2026, did not significantly contribute to the increase in the unemployment benefit expenditure.
