Instead of the idea of universal basic income. I like to toy with the idea of somehow making it so people can work less. Such as a person works every other week and where someone else fills the role for the weeks the other person isn't working. I think it would increase job positions and better mental health. I'm unsure how it financially could work out but I assume money can come from somewhere because UBI is basically proposing income for no work at all.
- oxymoran 6y agoIt is not for no work at all. You would be free to work and earn more money, so why wouldn’t you? It just guarantees a minimum income not a comfortable income. And it would encourage people to do exactly what you want, work less.
- core-questions 6y agoThis only really works for jobs doing more menial tasks - it will not work very well for longer term projects. Instead, we should focus those kinds of efforts on reducing the length of the work day, adding more flexibility to scheduling, and pushing hard to keep work out of home life.
