An initiative aimed at providing all citizens with minimal income to live on whether they are employed or not.
The project began testing in the town of Zurich, with the decision of the municipal council, despite the Swiss rejecting this initiative in last year's referendum.
According to the project, each citizen is guaranteed at least 2000 Euros per month.
Miners around 550. It's about the amount that the residents of Zurich keep on the poverty line, based always on the Swiss standard.
Application procedures and the way money distribution is distributed are still unclear to the public. But the project is seen with more scepticism, as it can foster job dropouts. However, this social system is also in experimental stages in Finland and California. The plan is part of United Nations anti-poverty projects. Many international organizations plan to extend the globe over a long period of time to combat poverty.
