In the race of becoming the first country actually implementing #UniversalBasicIncome there's a new front runner 🥳

South Korea has just elected Lee Jae-myung as president. He ran on a platform of #UBI in 2022 and narrowly missed out on the top job.

"Lee implemented various basic income programs for residents during his time as mayor and governor."

"The results, so far, suggest the scheme allowed participants to experience elements of daily life that others take for granted... The impact of them being able to socialize with friends really struck me. It’s a very everyday thing, but it wasn’t an everyday thing for these young people.” #Time4UBI
