Abstract

A Basic Income (BI) seeks to thoroughly de-commodify labour in the long term. Ideas for such a new payment need to be realistically situated alongside policies to enhance opportunities for paid work, particularly for those people who need it most. In the short and medium term, better policies to support job creation, work/life balance, improved quality of working life and skills retraining will be needed alongside any steps towards a BI. The Nordic nations have partly de-commodified people’s labour through policy approaches of this kind. The ways in which those countries have done so are valuable for Australia and other English-speaking countries to consider and learn from.
