- Enhanced Expenditure on Disabilities Reaches Around 10 Percent
Last year, funding for individuals with handicaps in North Rhine-Westphalia saw a 10% boost. Concurrently, the count of beneficiaries grew by a minimal 1%, as reported by the Statistical Office in Düsseldorf. Approximately one-third of these aid recipients were minors or young adults. In total, about 261,000 individuals benefited from assistance packages for disabled individuals in integration last year, with an overall expenditure of 6.4 billion euros (compared to the previous year's 5.8 billion).
The boost in funding for individuals with handicaps in Social policy of North Rhine-Westphalia was a significant factor in maintaining support services for beneficiaries, despite the minimal increase in the number of recipients. The improvement in Social policy has led to increased awareness and resources for integrating disabled individuals into various aspects of society.
