Abstract

ABSTRACT Basic income, defined as a periodic cash payment delivered unconditionally to all citizens, has become a controversial issue in some countries. It aims to alleviate poverty. This paper describes the experiments of the basic income policy conducted in Finland and Canada. Then it describes the Young Adults Dividends program in Seongnam City in South Korea. Although the program in Seongnam City does not show apparent evidence of having a positive impact on employment, it has been successful in relieving the burden of high living expenses for young citizens. This paper derives policy implications from the experience of South Korea.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
