Universal basic income (UBI) as a policy measure for supporting economic security has attracted worldwide attention. This book contributes to the discussion by focusing on UBI’s potential impacts for women, including women of colour and First Nations women.
Utilizing a “scenario interviewing” approach, the author worked with 26 diverse Australian women to imagine the potential implications of UBI for their own lives, as well as for women more broadly. The women talked about a range of possible impacts including poverty reduction, economic security, improved autonomy, and freedom from violence, which are sorted into overarching themes and chapters. Integrating these women’s narratives into the key arguments for and against UBI, this book provides a robust and readable introduction to relevant literature.
This book is suitable for a wide audience including scholars and students across the social sciences, as well as policymakers.
This book is included in DOAB.
