Ireland’s basic income for artists
has been made permanent
after research showed that it boosted the economy.
Other nations have similar schemes.
With more homegrown artists now coming from privileged backgrounds
and AI disrupting the creative industries,
there are calls for the UK to follow suit

‘Imagination and creation are products of time and space’
Artists help power the economy and enrich society, yet many struggle to make ends meet. Ireland's pioneering income scheme aims to change that - and is fuelling debate about whether the UK should follow.

«Opponents to basic income programs often argue that recipients will become less motivated to do any work whatsoever. That isn’t what happened, though. The money helped artists move time out of work they were doing mainly to survive, and into the creative work they preferred.»

We studied what happened when financially struggling artists received $1,000 a month, no strings attached, for 18 months
Opponents of guaranteed-income programs often argue that recipients will simply take the money and be less motivated to do any work whatsoever.

Como se dice “Guaranteed Basic Income" en español en los discusiones políticos en España?
Es un tema actual?
Gracias!

It is past time for a permanent basic income in Canada.
Now we have a country-level model, in an English speaking country, to start from.
