摘要
COVID-19 大流行使各经济体陷入衰退,人工智能的进步使工作任务普遍自动化。围绕如何应对这些挑战的讨论已将引入全民基本收入(UBI)推向了中心舞台。然而,现有的 UBI 研究主要集中在经济方面和规范性论点上,而缺乏从个人角度出发,对社会人口特征与 UBI 支持率之间的关联进行研究。我们利用 2020 年收集的具有代表性的德国工作人口样本(N = 1986),通过多变量分析,不仅研究了社会人口特征,还研究了 UBI 接受度的心理预测因素,从而为这一文献添砖加瓦。我们的研究结果表明,更支持全民医保的人与以下因素有关:相对年轻、东德血统、更支持平等的生活标准,以及认为自己的经济状况更差、电晕大流行的威胁更大。
Universal Basic Income Universally Welcomed? – Relevance of Socio-Demographic and Psychological Variables for Acceptance in Germany
The COVID-19 pandemic plunged economies into recessions and advancements in artificial intelligence create widespread automation of job tasks. A debate around how to address these challenges has moved the introduction of a universal basic income (UBI) center stage. However, existing UBI research mainly focuses on economic aspects and normative arguments but lacks an individual perspective that goes beyond examining the association between socio-demographic characteristics and UBI support. We add to this literature by investigating not only socio-demographic but also psychological predictors of UBI acceptance in a multivariate analysis using a representative sample of the German working population collected in 2020 (N = 1986). Our results indicate that being more supportive of a UBI went along with being comparably younger, of East-German origin, and more in favor of equal living standards, as well as perceiving one’s economic situation to be worse and the threat of the corona-pandemic to be higher.
期刊介绍:
Basic income is a universal income grant available to every citizen without means test or work requirement. Academic discussion of basic income and related policies has been growing in the fields of economics, philosophy, political science, sociology, and public policy over the last few decades — with dozens of journal articles published each year, and basic income constituting the subject of more than 30 books in the last 10 years. In addition, the political discussion of basic income has been expanding through social organizations, NGOs and other advocacy groups. Internationally, recent years have witnessed the endorsement of basic income by grassroots movements as well as government officials in developing countries such as Brazil or South-Africa. As the community of people working on this issue has been expanding all over the world, incorporating grassroots activists, high profile academics — including several Nobel Prize winners in economics — and policymakers, the amount of high quality research on this topic has increased considerably. In the light of such extensive scholarship on this topic, the need to coordinate research efforts through a journal specifically devoted to basic income and cognate policies became pressing. Basic Income Studies (BIS) is the first academic journal to focus specifically on basic income and cognate policies.
