SPAIN is to become the first country to provide a universal basic income (UBI) to help families during the coronavirus pandemic, the government has said.
Minister for Economic Affairs Nadia Calvino said that UBI would be introduced “as soon as possible” and could be something that “stays forever, becomes a structural instrument, a permanent instrument.”
Spain would become the first country in Europe to implement such measures on a permanent basis.
