History

The department was created in 1988 during the premiership of Felipe González and assumed powers from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, the National Institute for Social Services, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Justice. [3] In 1996, the new prime minister José María Aznar abolished the department and transferred its competences to the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. [4]

During its first period of life, the department assumed powers relating to social services, equality, minors protection and prevention of youth crime, adoptions and foster care and the promotion of cultural communication and youth association. Likewise, the department was responsible for the management of the social programs derived from funds obtained through the personal income tax and in its later years from the government migration policy. [3] [4]

The department was re-established in January 2020 by prime minister Pedro Sánchez.
