Mangelagede

Mangelagede is a term used in the context of social welfare and public assistance in Denmark. It refers to individuals who are in need of assistance due to a lack of income or resources. The term is derived from the Danish words "mangel" meaning lack or deficiency, and "agede" meaning to assist or help. Mangelagede are typically identified through various means, including income assessments, social surveys, and referrals from other social services. The assistance provided to mangelagede can range from financial aid to job training and support services. The goal of the mangelagede system is to provide a safety net for those in need, ensuring that basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare are met. The system is overseen by the Danish Ministry of Social Affairs and is designed to be inclusive and non-discriminatory, with a focus on helping individuals regain their independence and self-sufficiency.
