UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME-UBI
• Form of social security
• Everyone periodically receives an unconditional payment of money
irrespective of status and employment
• Basic income, citizen’s income- UK
• Basic income guarantee –US & Canada
• Basic living stipend, universal demogrant
HISTORY OF UBI
• Thomas More introduced the concept of guaranteed income in his book
Utopia in the year 1516
• Thomas Paine- 18th century- National fund, out of which shall be paid to
everyone
• Paul Samuelson- National system of income guarantees and supplements
• Martin Luther King Jr- simple, easiest solution to poverty- MIG
• Mark Zuckerberg- support to workforce displace by automation
UBI IN WORLD
UBI
“Wiping Every Tear from Every Eye”
PRINCIPLES:
• Universality
• Unconditionality
• Agency
BOON FOR FARMERS
Social Justice
• A society fails to guarantee a decent minimum income to all citizens will
fail the test of justice
• Access to basic goods and a life of dignity
• Like many rights it is unconditional and universal
• Test of non-exploitative society
BASIC VALUES
UBI
greater
productivity
Promotes
efficiency by
reducing waste
in government
transfers
Promotes
liberty (anti-
paternalistic
Promotes
equality by
reducing
poverty
All are equal
Promotes basic
values of
society equal
AGENCY
• Poor – treated as objects of government policy
• Well intentioned Welfare schemes – inflicts an indignity upon poor by assuming
that they cannot take economic decision
• Unconditional cash transfers treat them as agents
• Circumstances that keep individuals trapped in poverty are varied
• State is not in a best position to determine risks and mitigate properly
• Taking the individual as unit of beneficiary not household
EMPLOYMENT
• Flexibility in labour market
• No menial work
• Non- exploitative bargaining
• Demographic dividend – increase in share of young people in population
• Loss of employment due to automation and AI in near future
SOURCE: Economic Survey 2016-17
ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCY
• Weakness of existing welfares schemes riddled with misallocation, leakages and
exclusion of poor
• JAM-TRINITY (Jan- Dhan, Aadhaar and Mobile)
• Fully adopted- more efficient
• UBI reduces out of system leakage
• Transfers directed straight to beneficiaries bank accounts
• Monitoring UBI would be easier than many schemes
NO EXCLUSION ERROR
• Universal- No Problem of beneficiary identification
PROBLEMS OF BENFICIARY IDENTIFICATION:
• Self-reported income in 1992, 2002 list for identifying BPL
• Targeting was both inefficient and inequitable
• Tendulkar poverty line- Rs 32.40 and Rs 27/ day for Urban and rural areas
• SECC(SOCIO-ECONOMIC CASTE CENSUS)-2011
• Higher the coverage, lower the leakage (Himanshu and sen 2013)
INCLUSION-EXCLUSION ERRORS
CAG Report on 2008 Agricultural Debt Waiver
• 8.5% of beneficiaries audited -not eligible for debt waiver (20.5crore)
• 13.5%- Eligible people but not consider by lending banks
• 34%- certificates not issued properly
• Denied benefits but names appeared in the list
• Compensating farmers -not in dire need of a blanket waiver
PDS TARGETING (2011-12)
SOURCE: IHDS 2011-12
INSURANCE AGAINST RISK
• Poor households often face Bad health, Job loss, Natural disasters
• Slightly more than 50% of rural households face one or more forms of shock
• Prominent- Crop loss, Water borne diseases, loss of property, Cyclones (Jha,
Nagarajan, 2012)
• About 60 percent of individuals use personal savings to cope with these shocks
• Government assistance only 10%
• 6% borrowing from friends
CASH VS PSYCHOLOGY
• Preoccupation with daily hassles results in depletion of cognitive resources required
for important decisions (WB Report 2015)
• Pre-harvest cash-strapped sugarcane farmers in Tamilnadu performed worse in a series
of cognitive tests (10 points lower on an IQ TEST) than they did after harvest
(mani 2013)
• Unconditional cash transfer programme in Kenya brings significant increase in
psychological wellbeing of recipients (Haushofer and Shapiro 2015)
FINANCIAL INCLUSION
• Progressed substantially since PMJDY
• Ownership of bank accounts increased to about 2/3rd of all adults in India
• Active use increased to about 40 percent (FII-2015)
• A UBI of INR 6000 per adult per year reduces the average distance of banks
from 4.5 km to 2.5 km
IMPROVED FINANCIAL INCLUSION
FINANCIAL INCLUSION INSIGHTS 2015
RISE OF FORMAL BANKING WITH
EXPENDITURE
Economic Survey 2016-17
DISADVANTAGES OF UBI
• Conspicuous spending on temptation goods
• Moral Hazard (reduction in labour supply)
• Gender disparity induced by cash
• Too much stress on the banking system
• Fiscal cost given political economy of exit
• Political economy of universality-ideas for self-exclusion
• Exposure to market risks ( cash vs food)
TEMPTATION GOODS VS CONSUMPTION
EXPENDITURE
• Increase in income from UBI alone will not necessarily lead to increase in
temptation goods
SOURCE: NSS0 2011-12
MORAL HAZARD
• Free money makes people lazy and drop out of labour market
• Unearned income is undesirable
• No need of morality while talking about vulnerable people
• Money is given equal to poverty line
• No significant reduction in labour supply for men or women from the provision
of cash transfers (Banerjee et al., 2015)
FISCAL SPACE TO FINANCE A UBI
• Rs 5400 per year in 2011-12 and Rs 7620 per year in 2016-17
• Any program cannot strive for strict universality
• So a target quasi-universality rate of 75 percent is set ( de facto UBI)
• UBI decline to Rs 6540 per capita per year costing 4.2 percent of GDP
• Government will have to decide on what programmes/expenditures to prioritize
in order to finance a UBI
• Shortest path to eliminate poverty, it should not become the Trojan Horse

SUICIDES
UBI Vs SUBSIDIES
• Efficiency Vs Inefficiency
• Unconditional Vs Conditional
• Universal Vs Targeted
• Flexibility Vs Rigidity
GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR SETTING A UBI
DE JURE UNIVERSALITY, DE FACTO QUASI-UNIVERSALITY:
• If Universality has powerful appeal, it will also elicit powerful resistance
• Keeping in mind fiscal costs, the notion of transferring even some money to
the well-off may be difficult
• Targeting is needed
GRADUALISM
• UBI must be embraced in a Deliberate phased manner
• Allows reform to occur incrementally- weighing the costs and benefits at every
step
• Choice to persuade and to establish the principle of universality not additionality
• UBI as a Choice to beneficiaries of existing programs rather than in addition to
current schemes
TARGETING
• Define the non-deserving based on ownership of key assets such as
automobiles or air-conditioners or bank balances exceeding a certain size
• Adopt a ‘Give it up’ scheme wherein those who are non-deserving chose to opt
out of the programme just as in case of LPG
• Publicly display “name and shame” the rich who chose to avail themselves of a
UBI
• Self-targeting
UNIVERSALIZE ACROSS GROUPS
• Giving money to women improves the bargaining
power of women within households and reduces
concerns of money being splurged on conspicuous
goods
• Phase UBI for certain vulnerable groups- widows,
pregnant mothers, the old and the infirm-first
• Support the most vulnerable
CASE STUDY ON UBI
• SEWA BHARAT-UNICEF STUDY ON BASIC INCOME TRANSFERS
• Davala et al in Madhya Pradesh
UBI ON AGRICULTURE SECTOR:
• Shift from wage labour to own cultivation
• Small and marginal farmers begin to invest more into their own cultivation
• Positive jump in agricultural production
• Positive effect on indebtedness which is chronic in case of small and marginal farmers
CASE STUDY ON UBI
• People become more productive when they get a basic
income
• Basic income is not meant to replace employment
• acts as a cushion to survive even under extreme situation
• If the right amount is given as a basic income, the
positive effect is disproportionately higher than what
the monetary value is under normal circumstances
EFFECT OF UBI ON CONSPICUOUS
SPENDING
• No statistical evidence of any increase in economic bad such as consumption of
alcohol and tobacco
• In Bhil tribal village, there was actually a drop in consumption of alcohol
• People had liquidity to use for agricultural inputs

waiver
• If Right amount is given as basic income, the positive effect
is higher
• Solve the problem of poverty in short term
• Agricultural reforms including extension and marketing
reforms are needed

  • 12. UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME-UBI • Form of social security • Everyone periodically receives an unconditional payment of money irrespective of status and employment • Basic income, citizen’s income- UK • Basic income guarantee –US & Canada • Basic living stipend, universal demogrant
  • 13. HISTORY OF UBI • Thomas More introduced the concept of guaranteed income in his book Utopia in the year 1516 • Thomas Paine- 18th century- National fund, out of which shall be paid to everyone • Paul Samuelson- National system of income guarantees and supplements • Martin Luther King Jr- simple, easiest solution to poverty- MIG • Mark Zuckerberg- support to workforce displace by automation
  • 15. UBI “Wiping Every Tear from Every Eye” PRINCIPLES: • Universality • Unconditionality • Agency
  • 16. BOON FOR FARMERS Social Justice • A society fails to guarantee a decent minimum income to all citizens will fail the test of justice • Access to basic goods and a life of dignity • Like many rights it is unconditional and universal • Test of non-exploitative society
  • 17. BASIC VALUES UBI greater productivity Promotes efficiency by reducing waste in government transfers Promotes liberty (anti- paternalistic Promotes equality by reducing poverty All are equal Promotes basic values of society equal
  • 18. AGENCY • Poor – treated as objects of government policy • Well intentioned Welfare schemes – inflicts an indignity upon poor by assuming that they cannot take economic decision • Unconditional cash transfers treat them as agents • Circumstances that keep individuals trapped in poverty are varied • State is not in a best position to determine risks and mitigate properly • Taking the individual as unit of beneficiary not household
  • 19. EMPLOYMENT • Flexibility in labour market • No menial work • Non- exploitative bargaining • Demographic dividend – increase in share of young people in population • Loss of employment due to automation and AI in near future SOURCE: Economic Survey 2016-17
  • 20. ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCY • Weakness of existing welfares schemes riddled with misallocation, leakages and exclusion of poor • JAM-TRINITY (Jan- Dhan, Aadhaar and Mobile) • Fully adopted- more efficient • UBI reduces out of system leakage • Transfers directed straight to beneficiaries bank accounts • Monitoring UBI would be easier than many schemes
  • 21. NO EXCLUSION ERROR • Universal- No Problem of beneficiary identification PROBLEMS OF BENFICIARY IDENTIFICATION: • Self-reported income in 1992, 2002 list for identifying BPL • Targeting was both inefficient and inequitable • Tendulkar poverty line- Rs 32.40 and Rs 27/ day for Urban and rural areas • SECC(SOCIO-ECONOMIC CASTE CENSUS)-2011 • Higher the coverage, lower the leakage (Himanshu and sen 2013)
  • 22. INCLUSION-EXCLUSION ERRORS CAG Report on 2008 Agricultural Debt Waiver • 8.5% of beneficiaries audited -not eligible for debt waiver (20.5crore) • 13.5%- Eligible people but not consider by lending banks • 34%- certificates not issued properly • Denied benefits but names appeared in the list • Compensating farmers -not in dire need of a blanket waiver
  • 24. INSURANCE AGAINST RISK • Poor households often face Bad health, Job loss, Natural disasters • Slightly more than 50% of rural households face one or more forms of shock • Prominent- Crop loss, Water borne diseases, loss of property, Cyclones (Jha, Nagarajan, 2012) • About 60 percent of individuals use personal savings to cope with these shocks • Government assistance only 10% • 6% borrowing from friends
  • 25. CASH VS PSYCHOLOGY • Preoccupation with daily hassles results in depletion of cognitive resources required for important decisions (WB Report 2015) • Pre-harvest cash-strapped sugarcane farmers in Tamilnadu performed worse in a series of cognitive tests (10 points lower on an IQ TEST) than they did after harvest (mani 2013) • Unconditional cash transfer programme in Kenya brings significant increase in psychological wellbeing of recipients (Haushofer and Shapiro 2015)
  • 26. FINANCIAL INCLUSION • Progressed substantially since PMJDY • Ownership of bank accounts increased to about 2/3rd of all adults in India • Active use increased to about 40 percent (FII-2015) • A UBI of INR 6000 per adult per year reduces the average distance of banks from 4.5 km to 2.5 km
  • 27. IMPROVED FINANCIAL INCLUSION FINANCIAL INCLUSION INSIGHTS 2015
  • 28. RISE OF FORMAL BANKING WITH EXPENDITURE Economic Survey 2016-17
  • 29. DISADVANTAGES OF UBI • Conspicuous spending on temptation goods • Moral Hazard (reduction in labour supply) • Gender disparity induced by cash • Too much stress on the banking system • Fiscal cost given political economy of exit • Political economy of universality-ideas for self-exclusion • Exposure to market risks ( cash vs food)
  • 30. TEMPTATION GOODS VS CONSUMPTION EXPENDITURE • Increase in income from UBI alone will not necessarily lead to increase in temptation goods SOURCE: NSS0 2011-12
  • 31. MORAL HAZARD • Free money makes people lazy and drop out of labour market • Unearned income is undesirable • No need of morality while talking about vulnerable people • Money is given equal to poverty line • No significant reduction in labour supply for men or women from the provision of cash transfers (Banerjee et al., 2015)
  • 32. FISCAL SPACE TO FINANCE A UBI • Rs 5400 per year in 2011-12 and Rs 7620 per year in 2016-17 • Any program cannot strive for strict universality • So a target quasi-universality rate of 75 percent is set ( de facto UBI) • UBI decline to Rs 6540 per capita per year costing 4.2 percent of GDP • Government will have to decide on what programmes/expenditures to prioritize in order to finance a UBI • Shortest path to eliminate poverty, it should not become the Trojan Horse

  • 36. UBI Vs SUBSIDIES • Efficiency Vs Inefficiency • Unconditional Vs Conditional • Universal Vs Targeted • Flexibility Vs Rigidity
  • 37. GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR SETTING A UBI DE JURE UNIVERSALITY, DE FACTO QUASI-UNIVERSALITY: • If Universality has powerful appeal, it will also elicit powerful resistance • Keeping in mind fiscal costs, the notion of transferring even some money to the well-off may be difficult • Targeting is needed
  • 38. GRADUALISM • UBI must be embraced in a Deliberate phased manner • Allows reform to occur incrementally- weighing the costs and benefits at every step • Choice to persuade and to establish the principle of universality not additionality • UBI as a Choice to beneficiaries of existing programs rather than in addition to current schemes
  • 39. TARGETING • Define the non-deserving based on ownership of key assets such as automobiles or air-conditioners or bank balances exceeding a certain size • Adopt a ‘Give it up’ scheme wherein those who are non-deserving chose to opt out of the programme just as in case of LPG • Publicly display “name and shame” the rich who chose to avail themselves of a UBI • Self-targeting
  • 40. UNIVERSALIZE ACROSS GROUPS • Giving money to women improves the bargaining power of women within households and reduces concerns of money being splurged on conspicuous goods • Phase UBI for certain vulnerable groups- widows, pregnant mothers, the old and the infirm-first • Support the most vulnerable
  • 41. CASE STUDY ON UBI • SEWA BHARAT-UNICEF STUDY ON BASIC INCOME TRANSFERS • Davala et al in Madhya Pradesh UBI ON AGRICULTURE SECTOR: • Shift from wage labour to own cultivation • Small and marginal farmers begin to invest more into their own cultivation • Positive jump in agricultural production • Positive effect on indebtedness which is chronic in case of small and marginal farmers
  • 42. CASE STUDY ON UBI • People become more productive when they get a basic income • Basic income is not meant to replace employment • acts as a cushion to survive even under extreme situation • If the right amount is given as a basic income, the positive effect is disproportionately higher than what the monetary value is under normal circumstances
  • 43. EFFECT OF UBI ON CONSPICUOUS SPENDING • No statistical evidence of any increase in economic bad such as consumption of alcohol and tobacco • In Bhil tribal village, there was actually a drop in consumption of alcohol • People had liquidity to use for agricultural inputs
  • 44. UBI AMOUNTS, POVERTY RATE AND COST TO GDP SOURCE:NSSO & IHDS 2011-12
  • 45. RYTHU BANDHU SCHEME • Telangana Government- 25th February 2018 • 1st in India • Agriculture Investment Support Scheme • Spent Rs 12000 crore during both seasons • Rs 8000 per acre was given to land owning farmers • No land ceiling limit.

  • 48. GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME • System of payment by a government to citizens who fail to meet one or more means tests NYAY-NYUNTAM AAY YOJANA • Plan is to give Rs 6000 every month • Bottom 20% of population of around 5 crore families or 25 crore individuals
  • 49. CONCLUSION • Agriculture distress- large number of reasons • Boon for the farmers compared to subsidies and farm loan waiver • If Right amount is given as basic income, the positive effect is higher • Solve the problem of poverty in short term • Agricultural reforms including extension and marketing reforms are needed
