Members of parliament from the Pirate Party have submitted a legislative proposal calling for the introduction of an unconditional income in Iceland, reports The Reykjavik Grapevine news site.
The Icelandic UBI Proposal (fragment). From: https://www.althingi.is/altext/145/s/0454.html
The proposal is for the Ministry of Welfare to form a working group together with the Ministry of Finance and pave the way for a UBI that will “strengthen people’s economic and social rights and eliminate poverty.”
The 3000 word proposal cites several basic income schemes as evidence, including Canada’s MINCOME initiative in the 1970s.
