A shift towards universal basic income is gaining traction as societies grapple with economic inequality. Proponents argue that it could alleviate poverty, provide a safety net, and foster entrepreneurship. Critics raise concerns about funding, potential disincentives to work, and the need for targeted welfare programs. Despite the debate, a growing number of countries have implemented pilot programs to test its feasibility. Finland conducted a two-year experiment where participants received a monthly stipend, resulting in increased well-being and improved job prospects. In Kenya, a similar initiative provided recipients with valuable resources to invest in education and business ventures. As the conversation around universal basic income evolves, its potential impact on society cannot be ignored.
