Federal popular initiative UBI II

Five years after the historic vote in Switzerland in 2016 for the introduction of an unconditional basic income, an independent committee launched a second popular initiative on 21 September 2021. The aim of the initiative, entitled "Living in dignity - For an unconditional, financeable basic income" èis to guarantee a means of subsistence for all people living in Switzerland, to realize the basic human right to lead a dignified and self-determined life, and to enable everyone to benefit fairly from the achievements of the national economy.
