Unconditional Basic Income Europe

Our Mission
Unconditional Basic Income Europe (UBIE) is an international network connecting activists and initiatives from 25 countries. We advocate for the implementation of Basic Income in Europe and its recognition as a Universal Human Right. As a result of our efforts, basic income is now entering the policy agenda in many European countries and on a European Union (EU) level. Together with you, we want to push this development even further.

No Simple Policy – Designing a European Basic Income
The idea of a European universal basic income bears potential as a palpable way of delivering on the promise of ‘social Europe’. However, many proposals remain vague. We outline a concrete policy design for an EU-wide basic income to foster debates on how such a policy could look like in practice.
Social Europe Needs a Paradigm Shift
The European Pillar of Social Rights will not be successful without a new social paradigm beyond the traditional labour market focus.
