Abstract

This chapter attempts to determine the actual static cost of the introduction of a fully fledged unconditional basic income in Switzerland. The funding resources available for this policy initiative are also scrutinised. A “Clearing model” is presented in this work, and the share of social insurance benefits to be taken into account for the basic income (BI) amount is assessed. Options for covering the resulting gap are discussed, and an overview over the recent financing discussion in Switzerland is given.
