The Basic Income Project

The Basic Income Project explores providing all individuals with a regular, unconditional cash payment to cover essential living costs, regardless of employment status. Its goal is to reduce poverty, simplify social welfare systems, and promote economic security. By ensuring a safety net, it allows people more freedom to pursue education, caregiving, entrepreneurship, or creative endeavors without the immediate pressure of financial instability. The concept is often tested through pilot programs and research to assess its impact on work, well-being, and inequality, aiming to inform policies for a fairer and more resilient social support system.
