Expenditure on departmental social assistance

The national and departmental data made available here, by year and in a long series, cover the expenditure on social assistance of the departments (social assistance for the elderly or disabled, social assistance for children, RSA). These data are derived from the [Social Assistance Survey](https://drees.solidarites-sante.gouv.fr/sources-outils-et-enquetes/lenquete-aide-sociale-aupres-des-conseils-departementaux) with departmental councils, carried out annually by DREES, which collects data on beneficiaries of social assistance, expenditure and staff of social and medico-social work. In addition, the complete databases of raw data, i.e. as reported by the communities, since 2015 have been disseminated in the dataset: \- [raw databases of the social assistance survey – expenditure stream](https://data.drees.solidarites-sante.gouv.fr/explore/dataset/bases-de-donnees-brutes-de-l-enquete-aide-sociale-volet-depenses/information/) Additional data on social assistance recipients are available in other datasets: \- [recipients of child welfare](https://data.drees.solidarites-sante.gouv.fr/explore/dataset/les-beneficiaires-de-l-aide-sociale-a-l-enfance/information/) \- [recipients of departmental social assistance for the elderly or disabled](https://data.drees.solidarites-sante.gouv.fr/explore/dataset/les-beneficiaires-de-l-aide-sociale-departementale-aux-personnes-agees-ou-handic/information/) \- [the characteristics of recipients of departmental social assistance for the elderly or disabled](https://data.drees.solidarites-sante.gouv.fr/explore/dataset/les-caracteristiques-des-beneficiaires-de-l-aide-sociale-departementale-aux-pers/information/).
