Abstract

Basic income schemes are frequently derided as being unaffordable[1]. In order to assess the theoretical validity of this claim, it is necessary to elucidate how a basic income differs from most existing social protection schemes. Social protection (often colloquially labelled “benefits” in the UK, or “welfare” in the USA[2]) as currently implemented across the world has one defining feature: conditionality.
