Unconditional basic income
Introduction
This is an issue with a long history advocating for people to be entitled to
unrestricted basic salary without necessarily working for it.
The issues are:
1. Does one have to work to earn?
2. Does a person have the right to be lazy?
3. What are the challenges likely to be faced when implementing UBI?
4. What would be appropriate way of improving people living standards?
Issue: Does one have to work to earn?
Position on the issue
It would be much prudent if someone works for them to earn rather than just idling
knowing that they are entitled to basic salary, this would result to a major setback in the
economic growth because many people may stop working.
There have been both proponents and critiques of this idea as some claim that the
human faction is not having full freedom when a few control resources and only let them out
in exchange of work done while others argue that no one has a right to be lazy (Parijs, 1992).
