The EU’s Social Pillar could give a new impetus to Basic Income. However, this requires progressive movements to break with their old position of linking personal social security to personal market income, i.e., to classical work. The EU’s social pillar, as a program, will be successful if social security becomes a civil right. I consider this paradigm shift to be important and I am happy to be involved in the work on it in the frame of a working group within UBIE.
