The governments should give each citizen a basic income so that they have enough money to live on, even if they are employed.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Since time immemorial, food, clothing and shelter are three basic necessities for survival. It is often argued that successive governments should give adequate funds to each individual to sustain their living irrespective of their employment status. However, I partially agree with the given notion.
Apparently, giving basic income to unemployed holds wide range of constructive benefits. Firstly, not only populace will be able to lead a better life since they can get better treatments and they can be able to lead a stress-free life ,but also it will lessen the unemployed rate as from this income people can take the risk of setting up a new small business. For example, according to BBC research it is revealed that this fundamental approach can improve people’s economic conditions. Secondly, they do not have to depend on others. people who settle in a region can conduct all activities that they want such as travelling ,studying abroad and learning foreign languages. ultimately, will raise their standard of living.
Nevertheless, authorities should not give money to employed and well settled people for myriad reasons. Chiefly, if supreme bodies channelise funds on wealthy people, it will increase the discrimination amongst people as rich will become more richer and poor will become more poorer. Furthermore, it might happen people will not value hard-work, they will become more lazy depending solely on government’s monthly basic income which can prove to be an obstacle for nation’s economic prosperity.
To recapitulate, although giving some amount to unemployed or weaker section of society has its constructive ripples yet it’s negative side can not be ignored.
