Sosyal Adalet ve İnsan Hakları Bağlamında Evrensel Temel Gelir (original) (raw)

The measures taken to prevent the spread of the virus during the Covid-19 process have caused many people to be unemployed, deepening the problem of income inequality. On the other hand, it is predicted that the replacement of existing jobs by robots and automation in parallel with technological developments will increase the loss of welfare in society. Therefore, both the pandemic and technological developments have led to the re-discussion of basic income on the agenda of many countries. Basic income, in the most general sense, is the unconditional and regular cash payments provided to all individuals in society. In this respect, it is considered recognized citizenship right only because of being human. The study aims to address the issue of Universal Basic Income in the context of social justice and human rights and states that it is possible to develop and implement various tools, especially tax policies. In addition, it is emphasized that the Universal Basic Income application will increase income justice in macro terms, as well as reduce the poverty of individuals in the micro context and facilitate their access to labour markets.
