The Spanish left -wing government is expected to launch a basic income security network on Tuesday (26th) to subsidize the people affected by the epidemic. It is expected that the annual expenditure is about 30 to 3.5 billion euros.Although Spain is not the first country in the world to trial similar programs, Juckerberg, the founder of Facebook, and the founder of Facebook, and Luis de Guindos, deputy governor of the European Central Bank, believes that countries have faced the popularity of this time.When the economic abyss brought, the basic income of the whole people should be considered.
According to the BBC, the Spanish Socialist Party government will promote basic income next week to issue subsidies of about 462 euros (3917 Hong Kong dollars) to each qualified adult.According to the authorities, the plan is expected to cover at least 100,000 families, of which the primary target is based on single -parent families.Jose Luis Escrivaacute, Minister of Social Security in the country; believes that the plan will be able to act as the permanent security network for the most vulnerable group.
The logic of Madrid's trial push for basic income is simple.After the new crown pneumonia, countries have adopted social distance measures to reduce the scope and speed of the virus.However, the static static of personnel also paralyzed commercial activities, which led to the rapid shrinkage of the economic scale, and the unemployment rate climbed at a high depression. The first of which was the grass -roots people who had a meal, meals, meals.For example, the proportion of workers living below the poor line from 9.9%from 9.9%in 1997/98 to 13%of the current, 56%of them are one -person family.Imagine a grass -roots worker at Gig Economy, who stopped working because of new crown pneumonia for many months. With the limited savings and insufficient national social security, this person except the hand stopping and looking at the hexagram.Life is embarrassed.But how can governments provide guarantee?
Disaster's second policy
The Nobel Prize winner of Economics AMARTYA SEN found that the Bangladesh's famine in the 1940s had discovered that the cause of famine that year did not happen due to the plummeted food output, but because of various political and social reasonsAs a result, the price of food is soaring, but because farmers' wages are stagnant, they will be unable to buy rice they grow up.Shen En believes that in the face of such an extreme and changeable environment, the purchasing power of the people is greatly cut by nature or human disaster. Even if the authorities provide a small amount of cash, they can save their lives and keep them survive in the market economy.
Although the new crown pneumonia is different from the famine, the economic and social confusion caused by the popularity in the past few months is also a catastrophic.People with an annual salary of less than 75,000 US dollars send $ 1,200; British -being vacated workers and self -employed people provide up to 80 % of the salary subsidies, etc. The reasons are exactly the same as the basic income.The regular cash subsidy is urgent.
Under the new crown pneumonia, rising unemployment rates are undoubtedly a good time to recruit basic income, but under the trend of the artificial intelligence revolution, basic income is also necessary.As the technological breakthrough of steaming machines and electricity in the 19th century, the industrial revolution has brought about the industrial revolution, which has changed human life tremendous changes, and new types of labor exploitation and unemployment have emerged economically.The essence of the artificial intelligence revolution is no different from the industrial revolution, that is, at a less cost, in exchange for greater returns. Therefore, when a country's economic structure is transformed, a group of 21st century Luberists will also refuse to use technology to use technologyRevolution to replace manpower and labor to prevent its social status from being marginalized. The situation is like the current online car rental and online stores, and gradually shatter the rice bowls of professional drivers and retail practitioners.Therefore, when the technological revolution is inevitable, governments of various countries must also start thinking about how to ensure the disadvantaged groups that have been sacrificed in economic structure mutations in the future.
