The francophone Métro newspaper in Canada has run an in-depth article promoting a universal basic income in its careers advice section.
The article by job-market and study-choice expert commentator Mario Charette provides a rundown of pro-BIG arguments, including widespread automation, stagnant wages in jobs that are crucial for society and the foregone family benefits of shorter working weeks.
The article’s main finishing argument is that an unconditional basic income would make studying more fulfilling as students would no longer be forced to choose courses based solely on income prospects, which Charette says is increasingly happening in the United States.
