Social Accounting

KL Katealegaia, using the method developed by the University of the Basque Country (UPV) and the University of Deusto, conducts an assessment of economic and social impact. The investment in aid is multiplied in terms of its economic and social impact: through direct tax payments (income tax, social security contributions, VAT, etc.), through generated income from employment, savings on care services (such as services for individuals with mental health conditions who are unemployed), savings on non-contributory pensions, and other harder-to-quantify factors (contributions to local competitiveness and the industrial fabric of the region).
