Is a Citizen’s Income Behaviourally Feasible?

This feasibility test requires households’ situations to improve after implementation, which they would in relation to the secure financial floor that a Citizen’s Income would create, the loss of bureaucratic intrusion into intimate relationships and household activity, the greater ability to turn increased earned income into increased disposable income, an increasing range of options in the labour market, a reduction in administrative complexity, increased social cohesion, and so on. A problem is that the test can only be applied after a Citizen’s Income scheme’s implementation. Evidence from natural and constructed experiments suggests that the test would be passed. If implementation were to be one age group at a time, then behavioural feasibility tested after one implementation could generate the psychological feasibility required for the next.
