Intra-Gender Trade-Offs in Basic Income Regimes
The contemporary debate about basic income and gender primarily adopts an external perspective according to which women as a group are pitched against men as a group. This article examines tensions internal to women as a group. We distinguish three types of tensions, each of which lead to a so-called intra-gender trade-off: (1) horizontal tensions trade off different spheres of activities in which women have an interest (e.g. labor market vs. fam…
Basic income in crisis? (Hard) lessons from the pandemic
This short paper reflects on the key lessons we can learn from the political debate around and policy experimentation with (emergency) basic income schemes in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic. While the pandemic crisis initially seems to have opened up a policy window for introducing a basic income as a crisis instrument, theoretical arguments and empirical observations strongly suggest the reliance of some basic income advocates on crisis ev…

Just Being Connected, It's Like a Way of Resisting
Over the last decade, a range of research has demonstrated the detrimental impacts of policies criminalizing migration (“crimmigration”) on Latinx mental health. In this study, we seek to examine youth perspectives on how crimmigration policies affect Latinx adolescents' connections to Latinx identity, culture, and communities and the implications for Latinx youth mental health. We explored how immigration enforcement policies affect Latinx youth…
Basic income as a pandemic social protection instrument
This article explores the connection between two related but distinct models of basic income proposals in the context of a pandemic emergency. While COVID‐19 appears to have increased interest in basic income, this often ended up taking the form of a temporary emergency basic income (EBI) instead of a permanent universal basic income (UBI). In this article we argue that the “dial up/dial down” model of basic income allows us to link EBI and UBI i…
Derechos sociales en las democracias latinoamericanas
Esta contribución a la discusión del libro El derecho como una conversación entre iguales de Roberto Gargarella tiene dos objetivos. En primer lugar, se esclarecen las ideas coincidentes que permiten pensar los derechos sociales en nuestras democracias contemporáneas caracterizadas por el pluralismo y los desacuerdos profundos. En segundo lugar, se plantean y discuten tres problemas de la concepción de la democracia que defiende el autor en relac…
Emergency Basic Income during the Pandemic
This paper focuses on an emergency basic income (EBI) as a tool for avoiding financial insecurity during the time of pandemic. The authors argue that paying each resident a monthly cash amount for the duration of the crisis would serve to protect them from the economic fallout.They suggest three reasons why the EBI proposal is particularly well-suited to play an important role in a comprehensive public health response to COVID-19: it offers an im…
Judicial interventions in health policy
The judiciary is a key policy actor that is involved in deciding health rights and policy by intervening in the policy process through a variety of judicial mechanisms, yet the appropriate extent of its involvement remains contentious. Taking the competence objection seriously requires understanding it as an epistemic problem about how courts assess empirical and scientific evidence in order to competently adjudicate controversial health claims. …
The Discontent of Social and Economic Rights
Is there (or should there be) a right to basic income
A basic income is typically defined as an individual’s entitlement to receive a regular payment as a right, independent of other sources of income, employment or willingness to work, or living situation. In this article, we examine what it means for the state to institute a right to basic income. The normative literature on basic income has developed numerous arguments in support of basic income as an inextricable component of a just social order…
The stability of basic income
Although basic income has surged in policy interest in recent years, political research has not kept up with the debate in the trenches. In this article, we tackle a political problem any enacting coalition must face: how to ensure the political stability of a basic income over time. We first demonstrate how basic income schemes are particularly vulnerable to processes of policy change discussed in the recent policy feedback literature. We then a…
