Klinger attended the BIEN Congress in Montreal this summer, and the presentations dedicated to the effects a basic income would have on jobs especially caught the eye.  Because most people working low-pay jobs are often only working them because they need the money, a basic income would allow people to only work jobs that are meaningful to their life.  Klinger claims a basic income will promote a healthier work/life balance for everyone in society, resulting in a transition to an economy of care.
