A universal basic income is a form of social security in which all citizens or residents of a country regularly receive an unconditional sum of money from the government in addition to any income received from elsewhere. In 2017 French presidential candidates Benoit Hamon and Jean-Luc Bennahmias proposed plan to introduce a universal basic income of €750 (£655) a month, in what they described as a bid to combat the threat of robots taking over three million jobs. No countries in the world currently have a UBI although Finland is set to test it amongst 2000 citizens in late 2017.

Yes, but only to cover really basic needs. The wage would be one where you only just barely have enough to stay alive. It should not be a desirable life at all.
@93GZXH23yrs3Y
Yes, but only for those who work a limited number of hours a month for the local community.
@962KL2Y2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for those with low-income, while replacing those welfare programs which can be safely removed
