This seminar looks at prospects for a basic income in a global environment. What challenges do EU legislation and a globalised labour market present for the basic income? The seminar features lectures in English by Professor Guy Standing of the University of London and Jurgen de Wispelaere, a research fellow at the University of Tampere. It will also be broadcast live over the internet.

The event takes place in conjunction with Kela, which is beginning research to conduct a basic income pilot project in Finland.
