We basically already have Basic Income in Denmark.
We have "kontanthjælp" which in practise everyone, without an income qualifies for.
Kontanthjælp pays 2.181 USD a month, and on top of that you can get help with rent etc.
- joelmichael 10y agoIf only people without an income qualify, then it is not Basic Income. Basic Income is received by everyone without any means test. The purpose is to avoid perverse incentives in which people on welfare see little value in getting a job.
- mcintyre1994 10y ago> Which in practise everyone, without an income qualifies for. The concept of universal basic income typically removes that qualifier - everyone, regardless of income, qualifies for it.
