From January 1st to Switzerland you get 2000 euros a month, whether it works or not

Switzerland has started to experiment with the project for “basic uncooperative income”, an initiative aimed at providing all citizens, minimum 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.

Under the project, each citizen is guaranteed minimally 2000 euros per month. Miners around 550 euros.

It's about the amounts that go against the people of Zurich on the poverty line, based always on the Swiss standard.

The 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 could spur job dropouts.

However, this social system is also in experimental stages in Finland and California.
