whilst only one in eleven households (9 percent) cited regular monthly earnings as the family’s primary
income.
Slightly less than one-half of those interviewed (48 percent) reported social welfare and childcare allowance
were their primary source of income, followed by seasonal wages, the primary income for 11 percent of all
families in informal settlements.
The RAE population that took part in the Survey claimed that the minimum monthly sum required for a
household was RSD 56,700. The findings indicate that more than half of the households, or 55 percent, were
unable to secure money for food, 61 percent lacked the funds for personal hygiene, and more than threequarters could not find the wherewithal for daily personal needs, such as clothing and footwear, healthcare,
sports and recreation, and the like.
