Abstract:

Universal basic income is a concept that provides monthly payments to all citizens, regardless of their socio-economic status, to ensure basic financial security. Originating in the 19th century, it has gained renewed interest due to digitalization, robotization, and the rise of artificial intelligence, which may lead to job losses. This idea is seen as a way to reduce social inequality and address poverty. Examples of its implementation in various countries show diverse outcomes. These experiments suggest that universal basic income can improve social security and well-being but also emphasize the importance of the context in which it is applied.

Keywords:

Universal basic income, socio-economic status, social inequality, digitalization.
