This session will explore the concept of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) — a guaranteed minimum income provided to all citizens regardless of employment status or wealth. We’ll discuss whether the U.S. should consider implementing such a policy, examining potential benefits like poverty reduction and economic stability, as well as concerns about cost, inflation, and workforce impact. Participants are encouraged to share perspectives, research, and examples from other countries experimenting with basic income models.
