Transitions for society: job guarantee and basic income
Published on Oct 14, 2014
This film presents a huge social problem called technological unemployment. Whilst doing so, the film also presents two potential solutions to this major social issue. The transitional path described in the film concerns a transition towards a job guarantee program of environmentally sustainable, socially and scientifically beneficial jobs through a public service program organised by the government, coupled with an eventual transition towards an Unconditional Basic Income.
It is up to the viewer to decide on whether they see such a transitional path being a realistic consideration for governments around the world to think about.
