Universal Basic Income Pilots Expand to 12 Countries, Covering 50 Million People
UNDP reports that global UBI pilots have expanded to 12 countries covering 50 million people, with funding primarily sourced from AI automation taxes.
A UNDP report shows that global Universal Basic Income (UBI) pilots have expanded to 12 countries, directly covering 50 million people. Finland, Kenya, and Spain's pilot programs have been running for over three years, with data showing a 23% increase in entrepreneurship rates and 31% improvement in mental health indicators among participants. For funding, six pilot countries have adopted an "automation tax" — levying 15-25% on costs saved by companies through AI replacing human labor.
