Universal Basic Services New Economics Foundation

Universal Basic Services New Economics Foundation The central message of universal basic services (ubs) is that we can only flourish as a society – now and in future – if we act together and take collective responsibility to meet needs we all share. These are universal across time and space. how needs are met varies widely but some ‘need satisfiers’ are constant, e.g.: water, nutrition, housing, energy, education, healthcare.

Universal Basic Services New Economics Foundation This podcast provides an easy introduction to the topic of universal basic services (ubs) and can be recommended to anyone who is already interested in universal basic income but has not yet heard of ubs. In this instalment by anna coote, principal fellow at the new economics foundation (nef), we take a closer look at universal basic services (ubs) – a proposal to meet everyone’s needs within environmental limits. Ubs seeks to improve services that already exist, such as healthcare and schools, and to extend collective measures to areas where basic needs are not adequately met – including housing, domestic energy, childcare, adult social care, transport and digital access. The case for universal basic services argues that we can build on what we’ve got, the national health service and schools, for example, and branch out to meet other essential needs — housing, transport, childcare, adult social care and access to digital information.

Universal basic services (ubs) can play a crucial role in tackling the climate emergency, says a report out today from nef and the berlin based hot or cool institute. The concept of universal basic services (ubs) is based on the premise that the first job of good government is to make sure everyone’s basic needs are met. this is often best achieved through collective services rather than individual market transactions. We draw on the idea of universal basic services (ubs), an eco social approach to policymaking, which sees social and environmental policies as mutually reinforcing. The concept of universal basic services (ubs), on which our proposals are based, offers a principled framework for policy and practice to deliver life’s essentials through benefits in kind.
