Lausanne, Switzerland, has joined Finland & Ontario to provide a free wage, which means that every one of its residents will receive money for basic needs like food, transport and clothes, regardless of their income or status.
“Basic income offers a solid and securing social floor, as opposed to the fragile social safety net that we know today. The freedom provided by basic income encourages activity, social inclusion and innovation. In addition it values and supports the ‘free’ work such as volunteer activities.”
Leonore Porchet, President of Lausanne’s Green Party
