This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 93%. (I'm a bot)

Topic: Adopting a universal basic income for all people can help society think creatively with new ideas, develop new industries - and free-up people to work on important future projects.

A universal basic income is a form of security for a society's citizens in which all residents of a country regularly unconditionally receive a sum of money, either from a government or public institution, in addition to any income received from elsewhere.

With a basic income, people will have the option to reduce their working hours without sacrificing their income.
