Le revenu universel serait versé à chacun, sans condition. Ses partisans y voient une réponse à l'automatisation et à la pauvreté ; ses opposants craignent un coût énorme et une baisse de la motivation au travail. La Finlande l'a testé sur 2 000 chômeurs en 2017-2018.

Mise en situation : le débat

Teacher : Should every adult receive a universal basic income?
Chaque adulte devrait-il recevoir un revenu universel ?
Hugo : Yes. With automation, robots will take many jobs. People will need a safety net.
Oui. Avec l'automatisation, les robots vont prendre beaucoup d'emplois. Les gens auront besoin d'un filet de sécurité.
Lily : But who would pay for it? It would cost billions.
Mais qui le paierait ? Cela coûterait des milliards.
Hugo : We could tax big tech companies.
On pourrait taxer les grandes entreprises technologiques.
Lily : And it might discourage people from working.
Et cela pourrait décourager les gens de travailler.
Teacher : Interesting. In Finland's pilot scheme, people were happier and less stressed, but they didn't work much more.
Intéressant. Dans l'expérimentation finlandaise, les gens étaient plus heureux et moins stressés, mais ils ne travaillaient pas beaucoup plus.
