    What is UBI?

    Universal basic income is a concept with which many are yet to come to terms. The policy is gaining popularity by the day as experiments get conducted on a regular basis to find better ways of implementing it as clinicians study its effects.

    The concept behind UBI is where all citizens get access to basic income un-subjected to conditions on a perpetual basis. The way to get there is by getting rid of social welfare in places where it exists and coming up with social security measures where they are not available.

    There are very many arguments surrounding the concept, and because of its complex nature, many are yet to understand what effect it would have on the future. If the idea were to get accepted in society, we are looking at a future where participation in the community, work, and social equity will have different aspects to them, thus being separate.

    If you have questions about the concept or you are looking for a forum where you can discuss your opinion at length, register now and get to have your say. You will also get to learn a lot about UBI.
