Abstract

Mays and Torry discuss the social effects of Basic Income in terms of a safety net that stretches beyond economic security. Such social effects as social cohesion and inclusion, and a sense of community and solidarity, are discussed at the level of the individual, the household, the community, and the society as a whole, and the chapter closes with a study of how a Basic Income would benefit people living with disabilities, again at the individual, household, community, and society levels. The chapter finds that the social principles underlying a Basic Income scheme would affect the scheme’s effects, which means that it is important to establish those principles at the beginning of the design phase; and the chapter suggests that an understanding of the social effects of Basic income could counter normative resistance to the notion of Basic Income.
