Universal Basic Income
Universal basic income (UBI) is a social welfare proposal in which all citizens of a given population regularly receive a minimum income in the form of an unconditional transfer payment, i.e., without a means test or need to perform Work (human activity), work. In contrast, a ''guaranteed minimum income'' is paid only to those who do not already receive an income that is enough to live on. A UBI would be received independently of any other income. If the level is sufficient to meet a person's basic needs (i.e., at or above the poverty line), it is considered a ''full basic income''; if it is less than that amount, it is called a ''partial basic income''. As of 2025, no country has implemented a full UBI system, but two countries—Mongolia and Iran—have had a partial UBI in the past. There have been Universal basic income pilots, numerous pilot projects, and the idea Universal basic income around the world, is discussed in many countries. Some have labelled UBI as utopian du ...
