Guest Post: A Citizen’s Income for Scotland?
Guest Post by Annie Miller, Chair of the Citizens' Income Trust
In this post Annie talks about why we need a Citizen's Income, and how it could work in Scotland.
The Citizen’s Income Trust is a think-tank with the object of educating the public about the desirability and feasibility of a Citizen’s Income or Basic Income. A Citizen's Income is like a Child Benefit, but for everyone. It is based on the individual, (not the couple or household), is universal for everyone with the legal right to residency in the country, and is not means-tested. It is unconditional and non-selective.
