RE: Basic Income Could Increase Poverty - Research by University of Antwerp

in #news6 years ago

Thanks for sharing your though, in you opinion, what king of basic income could work?

On my side I think at least some social program must be replaced for administrative cost to go down and easy access for everyone be allowed.

Considering near futur automatisation of many jobs, we will have to consider a path where a basic income need to be provided to ensure a minimum decent living for a growing group of poor otherwise like in Brazil, violence will raise which bring lot of fees and costs to the society.

After, I think decent life standard shouldn't be too high so that bigger contribution to the society is encouraged.

But it would allow startup creators to have a living while they create their company, parents to choose to work less to raise their children, someone to realign his career while going back to school or some people to choose a modest and less stressfull live, while contributing in other ways (benovol implication, community implication, developping their passions, ...).

So we must not just consider economic impact, but also impact on children education, stress, health issues, happyness which have indirect impact on the economy.

An hard question, but sometimes, it's better to set your values and objectives and then work towards achieving these objectives.
