WHAT IS BASIC INCOME?

The emancipatory Unconditional Basic Income is defined by the following four criteria:

universal, individual, unconditional, high enough to ensure an existence in dignity and participation in society.

An Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) or Citizen's Income is a guaranteed income, given to all in addition to any other income they might receive. By advancing equality and economic participation while enabling simpler welfare systems, UBI leads to a fairer and more efficient society.
