The Landslide of Universal Basic Income: Is this the real life, or is this just fantasy

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a type of a (governmental) program in which citizens of a specific country may receive a certain sum of money every month, just because they are citizens. This program still evokes contrary opinions about its existence and possibility of implementation in different countries, especially because there are some speculations about how this program will encourage more people to do nothing, in order to receive their pay. On the other hand, studies of motivation say that rewarding activities with money is a good motivation for mechanical work, but not at all for creative work.

Universal Basic Income has become a mainstream policy topic in the last few years, specially having in mind the implications brought on by automatization, speedy development of AI and global demographics. But there is still a lot of confusion about what it actually is.
