Universal Basic Income

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a financial policy where the government provides all citizens with a regular, unconditional cash payment, regardless of their income or employment status. In the context of distributive justice, UBI aims to address economic inequality, ensuring that everyone has a minimum standard of living. It supports individuals in meeting basic needs, promotes freedom to pursue education or entrepreneurship, and reduces poverty. Advocates argue that UBI can foster a fairer society by redistributing wealth and providing a safety net, while critics raise concerns about its feasibility and potential impact on work incentives.
