Since 1979, worker productivity is up 93.7%. Typical worker pay is up only 32.7%. The gains kept flowing, they just stopped flowing to the people generating them. Would a guaranteed income floor give workers enough leverage to close that gap, or is it too structural for UBI alone to fix?
Line chart titled "Output is up. Pay isn't." tracking worker productivity versus typical worker pay, indexed to 100 in 1979, through 2026. The productivity line climbs steadily to 193.7. The typical worker pay line rises much more slowly, reaching only 132.7. Source: Economic Policy Institute, Productivity-Pay Tracker. Basic Income Action logo and handle in the header.

Basic income isn't a handout. It's a fair claim on the wealth we all keep generating together. What would change for you if that claim were guaranteed?
Getting paid at the time doesn't erase the value you created. Infrastructure and institutions compound across generations, each builds on what came before and passes forward more than they were paid for. That surplus is growth. Basic income is an equal and fair claim on that ongoing surplus.

In 1797, Thomas Paine proposed a national fund to pay every person compensation for the natural inheritance lost when land became private property. That's basic income, two centuries before the term existed.
"To create a national fund, out of which there shall be paid to every person, when arrived at the age of twenty-one years, the sum of fifteen pounds sterling, as a compensation in part, for the loss of his or her natural inheritance, by the introduction of the system of landed property: And also, the sum of ten pounds per annum, during life, to every person now living, of the age of fifty years, and to all others as they shall arrive at that age." ~ Thomas Paine, Agrarian Justice 1797

Basic income is our share of the capital we all helped build.
It's a social media "screenshot" of BIA's earlier post.
"This Labor Day, ask where the returns on labor actually go. Basic income isn't about rewarding work, it's about making sure everyone shares in the wealth we all help create."

What good is a service you can't eat or sleep in? @scottsantens.com nails it below. Services decide for us. Basic income is trusting we know where our needs are.

Honestly, it can get confusing! Here's a quick way to think about it: Guaranteed income asks "how much do you make?" first. Basic income doesn't ask at all — everyone gets it, no questions. Try our interactive definitions builder to see it in action 👇 basicincomeaction.org/about?tab=de...

Care work is still work.
Raising kids is work. Caring for a parent is work. Basic Income is the first policy that acknowledges both.

A simple way to think about basic income. Wealth transfer is also a transfer of power.
Wealth transfer is, in effect, a transfer of power. That's why basic income is fundamentally about giving people more freedom and bargaining power, not just more money.

A floor to stand on. A springboard to rise from. That's basic income.
Basic Income is a floor to stand on, but also a springboard,
whether that's starting a business, making art, or caring for family, without having to prove your worth through production first.

"Sufficiency" isn't measured per-person, it's measured against a floor: the minimum cost of covering basic needs. Uniform means everyone gets that floor amount. Sufficient means the floor is set at (or scaling toward) a level that actually covers basic needs, not a number tailored to each individual

Would you rather have: • A Universal Basic Income with fewer government programs • The current system + UBI • The current system without UBI What's the biggest reason for your choice? basicincomeaction.org/sharables/6a...
Honest question:

Should Universal Basic Income replace most other social programs—or should it exist alongside them?

Why?
