Sustaining Monaco’s social model

The Principality of Monaco implements a comprehensive and ambitious social policy based on attentive support for its population at every stage of life. It guarantees each individual equitable, timely and personalised access to care designed not only to meet medical needs but also to enhance the quality of life of residents, cross-border workers and visitors.

Childhood and family are also key Government priorities. The aim is to provide the youngest generations with an environment conducive to their development, through high-quality childcare facilities, an efficient education system and targeted assistance for families. These family policies – encompassing parenting, work-life balance and youth support – play a vital role in strengthening the stability and attractiveness of Monaco’s social model.

The policy for older adults forms part of the spirit of solidarity that runs through all Government initiatives. Through home support, the development of suitable facilities and social activities that strengthen community ties, led by the Department of Health Affairs (Speranza, CCGM), Monaco is committed to ensuring the well-being, autonomy and dignity of its senior citizens.

The most vulnerable residents receive personalised support organised by the Department of Social Welfare and Social Services. Solidarity allowances, access to social housing, medico-social follow-up and emergency measures all demonstrate Monaco’s commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind in times of difficulty.
