Basic Income Foundation

Welcome to the Basic Income Foundation!

The Basic Income Foundation (BINCOME) is a non-profit organization that promotes the idea of Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a solution to poverty, inequality and unemployment.

UBI is a policy proposal that would provide a regular, unconditional cash payment to all citizens, regardless of their income or employment status.

The goal of BINCOME is to raise awareness about UBI, and to promote its implementation through research, education, and advocacy. The foundation also supports local and international initiatives and experiments with UBI as a pilot program.

The organization’s main activities include gathering and disseminating information about UBI, providing expertise and support to individuals, organizations and governments that are interested in UBI, and conducting research and advocacy to influence policy.

UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME

Universal basic income is a policy proposal that would provide every citizen with a regular, unconditional sum of money, in order to meet their basic needs. This idea has gained popularity in recent years as a solution to poverty, inequality, and economic insecurity.

Our mission at the Basic Income Foundation is to educate the public about the benefits of basic income and to advocate for its implementation. We believe that basic income is a necessary step towards a more just and equitable society.

Basic income would provide a safety net for all citizens, regardless of their employment status. It would ensure that everyone has enough money to meet their basic needs, such as food, housing, and healthcare. This would reduce poverty and inequality, and would give people more security and freedom to pursue their goals and dreams.

Basic income would also have a positive impact on the economy. It would stimulate demand, as people would have more money to spend on goods and services. This would create jobs and boost economic growth. Additionally, basic income would reduce the burden on social welfare programs, as people would no longer need to rely on government assistance to meet their basic needs.

We believe that basic income is a practical and achievable solution to the problems facing our society today. Join us in our mission to educate the public and advocate for the implementation of basic income.

Basic income is a concept in which a government or other organization provides a regular, unconditional sum of money to all citizens or residents, regardless of their income or employment status. The idea behind it is to provide a safety net for people to meet their basic needs and reduce poverty.

Some proponents of basic income argue that it could be funded by a government-issued cryptocurrency. This could potentially increase transparency and reduce administrative costs compared to traditional methods of distributing funds.
