Universal basic income is a prominent socioeconomic policy proposal aimed at providing regular, unconditional cash transfers to all citizens.
Proponents argue that the policy reduces poverty, streamlines welfare bureaucracy, and protects workers against technological unemployment. Conversely, critics cite major implementation challenges, including immense fiscal costs, potential inflationary pressures, and possible disincentives for labor market participation.
