Why establish basic income
Eradicating poverty in all its forms is the first of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations for 2030. This leading position is not coincidental; ending poverty has a positive ripple effect on many other SDGs. By implementing a large-scale basic income system, we can make structural progress toward eradicating poverty.
A basic income is a proven tool for combating poverty and inequality. Numerous pilot projects of various kinds have demonstrated positive effects. GiveDirectly has compiled several studies showing that “cash transfers” are an effective way to support people living in poverty.
