Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a Policy Response to Current…
The Brookings Institution
From 2020 · Prominent people of different political persuasions have supported the idea of a universal basic income (UBI) to solve the major socioeconomic ills plaguing the United States. Proponents have put forth a variety of UBI plans to tackle income inequality, future work transitions and the complexity of existing benefits programs. But according to economists Melissa S. Kearney and Magne Mogstad in this sobering and eye-opening fact-check, the proposals fall far short of their intended outcomes and could be counterproductive. This illuminating study offers the economically and politically savvy some important food for thought.

There was no obligation to seek or accept employment during the two year trial ordered by the centre-right government, who run the country on austerity economics. If they did take a job, they would continue to receive the same payment, regardless.
