It&#x27;s important to realize what exactly basic income is, because it&#x27;s a somewhat vague concept. People typically mix two different concepts, the amount of income redistribution (how much money goes to welfare) and the structure of it (who&#x27;s eligable, etc.).<p>What people usually call basic income is different from current systems in these points:<p>- It&#x27;s automatic, no paperwork or going to authorities.<p>- It&#x27;s simple, everyone gets the same amount - disabled people, people with children, etc.<p>- The income jump from unemployment to employment is higher.<p>But I don&#x27;t think the difference is that big. Just modify a few parameters of the current system, perhaps change the level of income redistriubution to your liking and you have basic income.
