A universal basic income could rebuild social cohesion

Declining social cohesion and rising financial stress in Australia have highlighted the potential need for a universal basic income, according to Dr. Bronwyn Kelly. Recent findings from the Australian Bureau of Statistics General Social Survey show disturbing trends regarding how Australians view their lives.[1][2][3]

The survey results indicate that Australians are currently less satisfied with their lives than they were during the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020. This significant drop in life satisfaction, alongside mounting financial pressures, has fueled arguments that a universal basic income could help restore social cohesion.[1][2][3]
