Cultural productivism and public support for the universal basic income from a cross-national perspective

The attitudes of young citizens in higher education towards universal basic income in the context of automation—A qualitative study

“…They insisted that people need to work, and that technological development should not endanger people's opportunities to work. Such results are in line with findings from earlier research projects which focused on the current context and highlighted the importance of work for those who reject UBI (Koz ak, 2021;Rossetti et al, 2020). However, compared to the results of Rossetti et al (2020), the significance of work was emphasised in even more respects: interviewees talked about the importance of employment not only based on a societal perspective (i.e., that UBI would make people lazy, increase unemployment, and thus encourage citizens to be unproductive), but also from the individual perspective (i.e., work gives meaning to life).…”

“…Furthermore, results of other survey‐based studies (Chrisp et al, 2020; Stadelmann‐Steffen & Dermont, 2020) show that people rather support the abstract idea of basic income than actual policy proposals within which additional taxes or cuts to existing benefits are specified. Moreover, Kozák (2021) found that people support UBI less in those countries where engagement with work is stronger.…”

Come together? The unusual combination of precariat materialist and educated post-materialist support for an Australian Universal Basic Income

“…We find that Australian support for UBI is mid-range compared to attitudes in European countries, and on par with the liberal Anglo UK. This is in keeping with Australia's relatively high per capita income compared to many European countries (presumably lessening support; Kozak, 2021), but also its less generous welfare system when compared to Europe's social democratic countries (presumably raising support; Lee, 2018;Vlandas, 2020). We also found support for studies (Nettle et al, 2021) showing an increase in UBI support during the Covid period, when substantial welfare provisions (i.e.…”

“…At the national level, both low social security and economic insecurity increase support (Lee, 2018; Vlandas, 2020). While some studies identify low per capita incomes as a significant driver of higher support (Kozak, 2021), others suggest material deprivation, rather than low average incomes per se, are more important ( Roosma & van Oorschoot, 2020). Benefit adequacy also interacts with other attitudes.…”

Proceso de Formación de Agenda de la Renta Básica Monetaria en Colombia: Tendencias, Vacíos e Insinuaciones

“…A los estudios sobre el comportamiento de la RBM en la agenda pública se pueden sumar aquellos que la analizan como un fenómeno de opinión pública. Es el caso del trabajo de Kozák (2020), quien busca identicar el papel de la cultura del productivismo en la aceptación pública o no de la RBM. El autor arma que, aunque efectivamente en aquellos países donde el trabajo asalariado tiene una importante signicancia cultural, el apoyo a la implementación de la RBM es menor.…”
