By: Neuhaus, Max

Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Political Science - Universal basic income, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: The Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a political idea that provides a regular, unconditional payment to all citizens of a country. This payment should be granted without conditions or obligations, regardless of age, gender, income or employment status. The goal of UBI is to ensure a minimum level of economic security and social justice for all people. The introduction of a UBI is expected to improve the following aspects: Poverty is reduced, social protection is strengthened, and people's freedom and self-determination are increased. UBI is often discussed as an alternative solution to the current economic and social challenges of modern society, such as increasing inequality, unemployment due to automation and technological change, unequal opportunities and discrimination. UBI is intended to address these challenges by providing all citizens with a minimum level of security and freedom to improve their living situation and pursue their individual goals and dreams.
