Social support - All individuals that receive support from the State, Public Organizations or from other institutions without profit purposes.
Household support - individuals that live supported by the rest of the elements of the family (i.e. students, elderly without any pension, etc.)
Other cases - If you encounter a case that doesn't fit in any of the other modalities please chose this answer (for example: scholarship grants)
Note: The individuals that work without receiving payment on a familiar economical activity can chose the option "Household support" and not "Work" as their answer if they agree that their work is not sufficient to cover for all expenses that the family has with them. This is a situation we may encounter on the rural area.
