BEYOND4.0 Policy Brief No. 7
Policy Brief No. 7: Participation Income as a Model
for a Future Social Assistance Scheme

Despite enormous advances in technology and the accumulation of (financial) wealth, millions of people in high-income countries still suffer from unemployment, under-employment and lack of means to have a decent standard of life. These problems are predicted to intensify with the adoption of new digital technologies, including automation and robotisation. Recently, universal basic income (UBI) has become a popular policy idea to reform social security systems in keeping with the future needs of automatized and robotized economies. However, UBI has a fundamental weakness which can set welfare states into a downward spiral. Participation income is an alternative option that would rectify the inherent problem in UBI while still offering a more productive alternative to existing social assistance schemes.

New Book by
Heikki Hiilamo on
Participation Income
Heikki Hiilamo's new book "Participation Income. An Alternative to Basic Income for Poverty Reduction in the Digital Age" provides the first in-depth analysis of participatory income and its potential role in countering endemic poverty and unemployment in high-income countries. He reviews the concept of basic income and specific basic income experiments before presenting participatory income as a viable alternative in the fight against poverty.
