Finland on 25th, which next year will be issued to each citizen 560 euros (about RMB 4181) monthly salary "universal basic income scheme" for testing. Agence France-Presse said that while "a universal basic income" has sparked controversy, but Finland wants to be the concept of the practice of the first European countries.
According to the financial times website United Kingdom Edition 26th, according to the plan, Finland 2000 randomly selected in a test of the Government's "working age" Finland citizens 560 euros (about 4200) monthly basic income. Finland social insurance agency will be responsible for conducting the tests. Meanwhile, Finland does not have access to basic income would also be established by the Government compared to the comparison group. Switzerland said on 26th of the Basel daily, the pilot project will be formally identified before September 9 following public consultation. Switzerland according to the business daily, Finland the Government had revealed that with the implementation plan, citizens of the universal basic income monthly amount will be raised to € 800 per month.
Agence France-Presse said, this test is to practice the Finland Prime Minister Sipila previous commitments. Finland Ministry of health and Social Affairs said in a statement: "basic income plan's main objective is to promote employment", the project's goal is to simplify complex welfare systems in a sustainable manner. Germany financial network said Finland people after the national wage, the existing social welfare benefits such as unemployment benefits, housing subsidies will be canceled.
Switzerland radio and television said, in June this year, Switzerland rejected by the people in a referendum, country unconditionally to pay the adult 2500 Swiss francs a month (about 17,000), the children pay 625 CFA francs (about 4300 Yuan) concept. Many Switzerland argue that it will make Switzerland one lazy, countries poor. Compared with many countries, Finland people more positive view of universal basic income scheme. Polls show that 69% of Finland agreed with this plan. But many people believe that underlying income limit is 1000 Euro per month is appropriate.
In fact, the issuance of universal basic income to Finland, are not "well-being". According to the global Times newspaper reporter, Finland universal basic income plan like Switzerland held a referendum, but at the Government level to advance. This program is actually aimed at reforming the welfare system, reducing the Government's financial burden. Finland's welfare system is very complex, such as unemployment benefits has a complex formula, linked to previous earnings and the unemployed. Reform will not nurture lazy bones, also will encourage some people to enter the labour market, because the level of a universal basic income would below many people received unemployment benefits and other social security.
Finland starting in 2012, the recession, has yet to fully recover. Currently, Finland unemployment is 9.3%, the youth unemployment rate is as high as 20.9%. Germany said on N24 television, once known for innovation and education in the field of Finland is now the "sick man of Europe". If Finland's population of 5 million monthly income 800 euros, Finland the Government budget will be € 48 billion. In 2014, Finland's social welfare expenditure of up to 66 billion euros. Clearly, a universal basic income scheme would save the Government expenditure.
Germany said the economic news, Finland has taken the first step of a universal basic income, become pioneer of welfare reform in Europe. Earlier, the Netherlands in the city of Utrecht has carried out pilot projects of basic income, Sweden is also discussed related plans. Universal basic income European welfare policy or will in the future become a new sample.
芬兰将试行“全民基本收入”：每人每月发560欧元 - 芬兰,福利 - IT资讯
芬兰政府25日表示，该国明年起将就向每位公民发放560欧元（约合人民币4181元）月工资的“全民基本收入计划”进行试验。法新社称，虽然“全民基本收入”引发广泛争论，但芬兰希望成为实践这一构想的首个欧洲国家。
据《国际财经时报》网站英国版26日报道，根据计划，芬兰政府将在试验中对2000名随机挑选的“工作年龄”芬兰公民发放560欧元(约合人民币4200元)月基本收入。芬兰社会保险局将负责开展这一试验。同时，芬兰政府还将建立未获得基本收入的对比组进行比较。瑞士《巴塞尔日报》26日称，试验计划将于9月9日前公开咨询后正式确定。瑞士《商报》称，此前芬兰政府曾透露，随着计划推行，该国公民每月全民基本收入金额可能将提高到每月800欧元。
法新社称，此次试验是为了践行芬兰总理西皮莱此前的承诺。芬兰卫生和社会事务部在声明中称，“基本收入计划的主要目的是促进就业”，本项计划的目标是用可持续的方式简化复杂的福利制度。德国财经网称，芬兰人实施全民工资后，现有的失业金、住房补贴等社会福利补助金将取消。
瑞士广播电视台称，今年6月，瑞士人在公投中否决了国家每月无条件向成年人支付2500瑞士法郎(约合人民币1.7万元)，向儿童支付625法郎(约合人民币4300元)的构想。许多瑞士人认为，这会让瑞士人变懒，国家变穷。与很多国家相比，芬兰民众对全民基本收入计划的看法更为正面。有民调显示，69%的芬兰人赞同这一计划。但不少人认为，基础收入额度为每月1000欧元更为合适。
事实上，发放全民基本收入对芬兰民众并非“增加福利”。据《环球时报》记者了解，芬兰的全民基本收入计划不会像瑞士一样举行全民公投，而是在政府层面推进。这项计划实际是为了改革福利制度，减少政府财政负担。芬兰的福利制度非常复杂，比如失业救济金就有很复杂的计算公式，与失业者此前的收入等挂钩。改革不仅不会养懒人，还会促使一些人进入劳动市场，因为全民基本收入的数额会低于很多人领到的失业救济金等社保。
芬兰经济2012年开始衰退，还未完全恢复。目前，芬兰失业率为9.3%，年轻人失业率更是高达20.9%。德国N24电视台说，曾以创新领域和教育著称的芬兰现在成了“欧洲病人”。若芬兰的500万人口每月获得800欧元基本收入，芬兰政府的财政预算将是480亿欧元。2014年，芬兰的社会福利支出高达660亿欧元。显然，全民基本收入计划可节省政府开支。
德国《经济新闻报》称，芬兰已迈出全民基本收入的第一步，成为欧洲福利改革的先锋。此前，荷兰在乌特勒支市开展了基本收入试点项目，瑞典也正讨论相关计划。全民基本收入未来或将成为欧洲福利政策的新样本。
