Basic Income: A concept for decent living and working conditions

Conference
European Parliament, Brussels
Tuesday 3 July 2007, 9:30 - 13:00

European Parliament - Room Petra Kelly ASP01G2
60, Rue Wiertz - 1047 Brussels - Belgium


INTRODUCTION

Basic or Citizen's Income is related to two main ideas: the possibility of a new, creative way of guaranteeing a decent income for all individuals and the chance of tackling issues such as poverty, working poor, unemployment and the related social exclusion and stigmatisation. Basic income creates the vision of a new kind of human self-conception and a new understanding of freedom for everyone.
