Thanks to the program unconditional basic income (Unconditional Basic Income — UBI), some residents of Chicago some time will receive from the state assistance in the amount of $500. In addition, the program provides for the payment of income tax of its participants, which will also improve their financial position.
Today, about 70% of Americans are unable to defer a portion of their earnings for a «rainy day,» writes FoxNews, so 60% of respondents support the UBI program. It helps the poor find a way out of difficult situations and becomes a good help for College graduates during job search.
Program unconditional basic income works in many countries around the world and supported by well-known businessmen-philanthropists, such as mark Zuckerberg. Recently, the project UBI started in Stockton (CA).
