Basic income and patriarchy

Basic income and patriarchy

More than creating a new provision of salary for housework, we need to strengthen awareness, implementation and utilisation of other existing provisions. (Representational Image) Last month, Kamal Hasan’s party, Makkal Needhi Maiam , promised salaries to housewives as a part of its electoral campaign in Tamil Nadu. This week, the idea was welcomed by Shashi Tharoor , who tweeted that this will “monetise the services of women homemakers in society, enhance their power and autonomy and create near- universal basic income ”. To this, actor Kangana Ranaut said, “we don’t need salary for being the Queens of our own […]

65% of Europeans want governments to put in place a Universal Basic Income

Photo by Kurt Sunkel A new poll by WeMove and YouGov shows that around two-thirds of Europeans want governments to put in place a Universal Basic Income (UBI) where every person in the EU receives a direct cash payment every month, implying European leaders discussing post-COVID-19 recovery at European Council (10-11 December) should include UBI in their plans to boost the EU economy. This measure is supported by 65% of the people – but if the respondents are asked to think about the current pandemic before answering the question, the result goes up to 68%. See table

Martel: Why Trudeau shouldn't give up on guaranteed basic income

Automated investing is so easy, but the hardest part is choosing where to start.These simple, automated services have been around for years now, taking the stress out of investing and saving you a lot of money on the fees human advisers charge. At the beginning of December, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that he could see no path forward for a guaranteed basic income right now. For the sake of Canadians everywhere, he should spend some more time looking. Uber is one example of the gig economy, in which fewer workers get benefits or draw reliable salaries. © Provided […]

Uber is one example of the gig economy, in which fewer workers get benefits or draw reliable salaries. At the beginning of December, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that he could see no path forward for a guaranteed basic income right now. For the sake of Canadians everywhere, he should spend some more time looking.

Many working Canadians are struggling in the current labour market. Globalization, rapid technological change and the gig economy have changed the nature of the labour market. People no longer spend the majority of their career working for one company; many jobs limit the number of […]

How Andrew Yang changed the politics of direct payments

How Andrew Yang changed the politics of direct payments

From President Trump to Joe Biden, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio to New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, direct cash payments are having a moment of unique bipartisan support, and Andrew Yang has a compelling argument for taking credit for that.

Yang’s $1,000-per-month, get-money-to-people Democratic presidential primary campaign, which ended just before the coronavirus pandemic prompted an economic crisis, may have been unexpectedly perfectly-timed advocacy that forever changed direct payment politics — and the legacy of his campaign is living on in continued direct-payment advocacy from Humanity Forward, the nonprofit organization that sprung from his campaign.

After the House and Senate hastily passed […]

Universal Basic Income Is Not Sound Policy (Yet)

Universal Basic Income Is Not Sound Policy (Yet)

In the US, Universal Basic Income (UBI) has become ever salient as the public grows more fearful of mass job displacement . The policy is a type of social security that guarantees a fixed amount of income to citizens. Andrew Yang drew attention to the idea during this year’s Democratic presidential primary through the “Freedom Dividend,” which would distribute an unconditional $1,000 a month to adult citizens; it is seen as a guaranteed income to tackle the forthcoming technological shift that will displace millions of American workers.

While UBI is certainly a good idea, there is reason to be skeptical. […]
