SLIDESHOW: Basic Income Masterclass
NICVA Masterclass
According to Eoin Rooney of the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action (NICVA), NICVA’s first “Masterclass” of 2014 examined the idea of a Basic Income. This would replace the current system of social security with a standard, regular payment for all citizens – as of right. Two slideshows from the Masterclass are online. In the first, Micheál Collins, Senior Research Officer with the Nevin Economic Research Institute, discussed the practicalities of a Basic Income, including what level it could be set at and how it could be funded. In the second, Maureen O’Reilly, an economic consultant, explored the potential wider implications of a Basic Income on the labour market and public finances.
