What is ​Unconditional Basic Income? Have you ever asked yourself the question “What would I do, if I would have a guaranteed amount of money monthly just because I am alive?” Would you quit working? Would you go back to shool? Would you go on the trip you always dreamt of? Or would you just put money aside for the future?So what would your life look like ​given an ​Unconditional Basic Income (UBI)? For sure you would feel you have more freedom.A UBI is a monthly payment a citizen receives unconditionally for his whole lifespan, from the cradle to the grave. It is considered a human right.The UBI is characterized by the following 4 criteria: _Universal - Every person, irrespective of age, descent, place of residence, profession etc. will be entitled to receive this allocation. Individual - Everyone has the right to UBI on an individual basis as this is the only way to ensure privacy and to prevent control over other individuals. UBI will be independent of marital status, cohabitation or household configuration, or of the income or property of other household or family members. Unconditional - As a human right UBI shall not depend on any preconditions, whether an obligation to take paid employment, to be involved in community service, or to behave according to traditional gender roles. Nor will it be subject to income, savings or property limits. High enough - The amount should provide for a decent standard of living, which meets society’s social and cultural standards in the country concerned. It should prevent material poverty and provide the opportunity to participate in society and to live in dignity.The European Citizen’s Initiative is collecting signatures to democratically force a discussion about the UBI in the European Parliament.
