A 90-year-old UK pensioner living overseas could receive £122 per week or just £52 per week, depending on which country they are in DID you know that, around the world, more than half a million British pensioners are suffering due to an illogical and antiquated policy that goes against basic social justice?

Qualification for a state pension is based on National Insurance contributions made. You would, therefore, be forgiven for assuming that all British pensioners who have made the required contributions, can access their full British pension equally, regardless of where they live. Bizarrely, this is not the case.

Currently, 1.2 […]

A short-term universal basic income (UBI) pilot in India has been found to have positive effects years after it concluded, according to a recent follow-up study. Researchers who returned to the villages involved in the original pilot study, which took place in 2012-2013, found that many of the improvements caused by a year of basic income had been wholly or partially maintained.

In a few cases, there had even been what are called “momentum effects”, in which behaviour changes due to the year-long UBI had continued to build during the intervening years. For example, in the original study, it was […]

The recent news that Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign seriously considered including a Universal Basic Income as a policy proposal should not surprise us. The idea of a uniform, regular payment to all citizens is not new. It was proposed as early as 461 BC by the Greek politician, Ephialtes, to enable all people, even plebs, to participate in the polis, and has emerged at various stages through history, with a recent surge in popularity since the 2007-8 financial crisis. basic income is now being considered seriously by (mostly opposition) parties around the world.

Pilot projects, including here in the U.S., […]

Today we made good progress towards getting a Universal Basic Income (UBI) for Glasgow. I amended a welfare motion to call for a cross-party working group to investigate plans for a UBI in Glasgow. The amendment was approved and the motion was carried with collective support from Greens, Labour and SNP.

Hopefully now can be the start of a collective effort across the chamber to create a robust plan of action. And about time too.

As I outlined in the chamber today, now is the time for a step change in economic thinking.Insecure working conditions, persistent gender discrimination, benefit delays, a […]

By having technology replace human labour, the production of essentials will free up swathes of the workforce. Source: Shutterstock “Facing Your Fear: Three Steps To Surviving The Robot Revolution”

THAT WAS the title of a TEDx talk given yesterday by Charles Radclyffe , a successful digital entrepreneur and tech industry consultant and commentator. Or, as one un-named detractor would have it, a “tech communist”.

With the (often ill-conceived) scare stories permeating through mainstream media regarding robotics, technology, nanotech and artificial intelligence, it’s easy to come away with portents of doom: technology will overtake us and either destroy us or subjugate […]
