Chapter Chapter 14 in The Palgrave International Handbook of Basic Income, 2023, pp 285-306 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Research shows that public backing for policy proposals is an important pillar of policy change, and welfare reform or Basic Income is no exception. This chapter presents a review of the research on preferences for Basic Income and more specifically, what we know on the individual-level determinants of policy support, the effect of policy characteristics, the effects of context and more novel research in terms of information and framing. While scholarship has accumulated consistent evidence on the individual-level and contextual determinants, many open questions remain on the mechanisms underpinning this support, and we know comparatively far less on the effects of policy design and information.
