Statistics on family allowances AFam

Although the family allowances registry of the CCO is a full survey of all recipients, containing additional structural information that is important for the payment of these allowances and for combating fraud, it does not contain information on the size or scope of the benefits paid. The statistics on family allowances are thus based on a direct survey of the compensation funds for family allowances carried out by the FSIO.
