abstract: 'The objective of this article is to determine, as conclusively as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
possible, if the implementation of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) would
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lead to a significant reduction in the working age population labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supply. If this were true, implementation of a UBI may not be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sustainable. To do this, we will compile empirical evidence from studies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
over the last few decades on the effects of implementation of a UBI on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment. We apply the PRISMA methodology to better judge their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
validity, which ensures maximum reliability of the results by avoiding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
biases and making the work reproducible. Given that the methodologies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
used in these studies are diverse, they are reviewed to contextualize
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the results taking into account the possible limitations detected in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these methodologies. While many authors have been writing about this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
issue citing experiences or experiments, the added value of this article
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is that it performs a systematic review following a widely tested
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scientific methodology. Over 1200 documents that discuss the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
UBI/employment relationship have been reviewed. We found a total of 50
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
empirical cases, of which 18 were selected, and 38 studies with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contrasted empirical evidence on this relationship. The results speak
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for themselves: Despite a detailed search, we have not found any
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evidence of a significant reduction in labour supply. Instead, we found
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evidence that labour supply increases globally among adults, men and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women, young and old, and the existence of some insignificant and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
functional reductions to the system such as a decrease in workers from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the following categories: Children, the elderly, the sick, those with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabilities, women with young children to look after, or young people
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
who continued studying. These reductions do not reduce the overall
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supply since it is largely offset by increased supply from other members
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the community.'
