Universal Basic Income/Tackle Wealth Inequality
Tackling wealth inequality in Scotland by trialling a universal basic income, ensuring that everyone has enough to eat and stay warm and capping CEO and management salaries to a relative percentage of the lowest paid worker in any given organisation.
Why the contribution is important
The current pandemic has shown us more than ever that our key workers are essential for keeping the wheels turning in all aspects of our lives, and also that the poor are disproportionally affected by the virus, with worse outcomes than in affluent areas.
"Key workers" are typically undervalued and underpaid and it would be great to see this addressed in the response to the pandemic.
Along with making sure that everyone has enough money to eat and keep warm, the wealth inequality across the UK is quite simply an embarrassment, and should be utterly unacceptable to all.
