The idea of a Universal Basic Income is centuries old but has undergone a mainstreaming over the past decade as thinkers from across the economic spectrum look for ways to respond to the economic challenges of the 21st century. This moderated Exchange, hosted by KPMG’s Next Generation Voices, convened diverse young leaders in the fields of finance, business, journalism and policy. With expert contribution from leading author and business executive John Howkins, the Exchange touched upon on how we live, work and how our economies must respond to automation, debating an issue that will shape economics for decades to come.
