Abstract:	For this report we use Blum and Dobrotić's framework (2021) to measure inclusiveness within minimum income schemes (MIS). By inclusiveness we refer to the extent to which MIS are available to all individuals in need, irrespective of their particular personal circumstances. Applying this concept also allows us to tackle the problem of the intersectionality of needs, which is something that is currently not emphasised in the design of the policy, making it insufficiently tailored to intercept the intersections that might magnify a person's exposure to the risk of poverty. In this context, we analyse MIS eligibility rules across the seven EUROSHIP countries - Spain, Italy, Germany, Norway, Hungary, Estonia and the United Kingdom. In so doing we intend to provide further knowledge on the potential limitations posed by policy design for individuals in need. The report focuses on the following requirements to access MIS programmes: age, nationality-residence and unit of assessment (individual, family or household).
