Abstract

Basic income (BI) is a cash income unconditionally granted to all individuals with or without employment. In Japan, the public awareness of BI has been gradually increasing, due to a growing concern about income inequalities. Some political actors even began to discuss the introduction of BI. However, although some books on BI for the general public have been published, like Yamamori (2009) and Tachibanaki and Yamamori (2009), the public understanding of BI is still quite limited, and little is known as to what the people really think about BI. And yet such information is essential to the future discussion of BI. With this context in mind, this chapter analyzes survey data on the attitudes of the Japanese toward BI.
