Extreme poverty and human rights on universal basic income 2017, para. 14
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The absence of conditionality is a key dimension for most basic income proponents. This means that no conditions, such as children’s attendance at school or proof of job searches, must be met before the income is paid. People are thus not compelled to accept unpleasant or unattractive jobs. The latter would be filled either by machines, or by people attracted by a higher pay level.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
