Comparing Welfare Regimeswelfare regimes to Basic Incomebasic income Ideals

Chapter Chapter 6 in Basic Income, Work Incentives and Job Search Behaviour, 2025, pp 111-124 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Chapter six examines the degree to which basic income principles exist across ten European welfare regimes. It analyses unemployment benefits across European countries through the lens of unconditionality, accessibility, and participation tax rates to identify distinct institutional patterns amongst welfare regimes that provide context for understanding their impact on job search behaviour, which is examined in subsequent chapters. The chapter reveals which welfare configurations most closely approximate basic income, which represent its antithesis, and the institutional pathways that might facilitate basic income implementation in different contexts.
