Interim UBI and mental health report
Explore research from the RSA and Northumbria University on the possible benefits of a universal basic income in the UK.
Universal Basic Income
Basic income can help people take control of their own lives.
A universal basic income (UBI) is a payment made to everybody. It would give people the power of choice - to learn, to care, to start their own business.
At the RSA, we’re interested in how a UBI might impact our individual and collective wellbeing. Our research explores how it would work in practice and what its impacts might be.
