Spain Plans to Roll Out a Universal income

COVID-19 and economy recession

The coronavirus pandemic has catapulted the idea of a universal basic income—guaranteed payments from the government to all citizens—from the fringes to the mainstream in countries including Spain, which has pledged to roll one out as soon as it can.

Economy Minister Nadia Calvino said Sunday night that authorities plan to have a basic income and other measures to help struggling households "in place as soon as possible," Bloomberg reports.

She said the government wants the program to become something "that stays forever, that becomes a structural instrument, a permanent instrument."

No word yet on what the amount would be, notes Forbes.

A nationwide lockdown in Spain began on March 15 and measures have been tightened since.

The country, with 135,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and more than 13,000 deaths, has the second-worst outbreak in Europe, behind only Italy, the Hill reports.

The number of deaths per day, however, has fallen for four straight days, raising hopes that the outbreak may have peaked.

QUESTIONS:
1) Briefly discuss the proposed universal basic income—guaranteed payments in Spain.

2) How is such measure believed to ease the effects the Coronavirus pandemic to the families in the country.

3) Talk about the impact of the pandemic to the said nation.

4) In your opinion, how essential is it for any government to function as a "permanent structural instrument" for the people?

5) Should the universal basic income be given in perpetuity or just in critical periods? Why do you think so?
