DOI:
https://doi.org/10.26694/3746Resumo
Interest in basic income tends to grow in times of crisis, especially with current high rates of unemployment, poverty and the impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This article aims to evaluete the characteristics of the debate on basis income for every citizen in the last twelve years. There are three mains reasons for basic income: 1) problems caused by poverty; 2) constant crises of the capitalism system; 3) massive destruction of jobs by automation. It is concluded that there is no consensus on the design of such a program, neither on its relationship with social welfare policies nor on its population coverage.
