The Swiss Universal Basic Income Vote 2016: What’s Next?

“The discussion was based on a proposal to add three new articles in the Swiss constitution:

  1. The national state is required to establish an Unconditional Basic Income.
  2. The Basic Income has to ensure all Swiss residents a life in dignity and participation in public life.
  3. The legislation [created by the Swiss parliament] has to set the necessary rules accordingly, especially to organize the financial part.”
