About Us
Making basic income data accessible, reliable, and up-to-date for policymakers, researchers, and advocates worldwide.
Our Vision
UBIdata is an online knowledge repository focused on systematically collecting, processing, and disseminating key information about basic income pilots, proposals and policy debates around the world.
As the idea keeps moving from the margins to the centre of policy debates around the world, basic income is generating a vast and growing amount of data related to experiments and trials, public opinion polling and costings, and media and political debates. Today much of this data remains inaccessible, rapidly becomes out-of-date or is simply difficult to find.
UBIdata addresses these issues by producing reliable and updated information about the global basic income debate in an accessible and user-friendly format. Our main objective is to provide a key resource for policy-makers, researchers, journalists and civil society organisations and advocacy networks interested in understanding, debating and working towards introducing basic income.
Our Team
UBIdata is a project initiated and coordinated by the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) in cooperation with several partner organisations: Income To Support All (ITSA) Foundation, The Institute (TI), Bath UBI Beacon, Autonomy Data Unit, and Common Knowledge.
