Basic Income: A Way Out of Poverty in a Time of Pandemic or Utopia //ar.knoema.com/bgxyrtd/basic-income-a-way-out-of-poverty-in-a-time-of-pandemic-or-utopia 2020-12-25T10:52:35Z Misha Gusev ar.knoema.com://ar.knoema.com/user/1000560
Basic Income: A Way Out of Poverty in a Time of Pandemic or Utopia

(23 September 2020) Sir Thomas More introduced the concept of basic income* in Utopia back in 1516. It's a simple concept: Eliminate poverty by guaranteeing a basic level of income. The New Jersey Income Maintenance Experiment (1968-1972) was the first basic income experiment and has since been followed by more than 40 experiments across 14 countries, including 16 ongoing, and another 5 experiments planned for 2020 or later. From an experimental perspective with small groups of participants (as opposed to whole economies), the data demonstrates that basic income helps to eradicate poverty and without many of the anticipated negative effects. The labor pool remained strong even with basic income guarantees, however, female participants did increase time spent on childcare while others pursued additional education.Beyond basic necessities, recipients spent additional income on consumer capital goods and assets, rather than on alcohol and tobacco as some feared would occur.In addition, basic income improved nutrition, health, and the reported general psychological state of recipients. Children benefited, in particular, with incidents of child labor and crime decreasing and primary and secondary education participation rates increasing. So, while the idea of basic income may have appeared on the public stage more than 500 years ago, we had to wait until the 20th century for broad political and public discussion to trigger experimentation globally. The findings from these experiments could not be more relevant than in this time of COVID as governments worldwide evaluate new policy approaches for economic stimulus and general resilience to avoid future economic slowdowns from shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic.   *Definition: Basic Income is a periodic cash payment unconditionally delivered to all on an individual basis, without means-test or work requirement.

COVID-19: A Change Agent for Minimum Wage in Election Year? //ar.knoema.com/zcxdsff/covid-19-a-change-agent-for-minimum-wage-in-election-year 2020-10-06T12:23:17Z Ellen Goodwin ar.knoema.com://ar.knoema.com/user/1593850
COVID-19: A Change Agent for Minimum Wage in Election Year?

(17 July 2020)  COVID-19 has clarified for many the dependence of our daily lives on the hourly wage earners within our societies, a fact that speaks to the campaign platform of former US vice president and presidential candidate Joe Biden. A federal minimum wage of $15 per hour, according to Biden, is critical for the basic protection and standard of living of millions of US workers who delivery food, provide care to the young and the elderly, support agricultural, hotel, entertainment, and so may other industries. The current US federal minimum wage is $7.25—about $15,000 a year for a full-time worker, which could qualify the worker for government assistance programs—however, as shown below, the minimum wage in the United States varies by state.The US minimum wage was implemented in 1938 as the US was trying to pull itself out of the Great Depression. The question now is how viable is a wage hike to pull the US out of the COVID-19 economic contraction when so many retailers, hotel and restaurant, and other industries are careening toward bankruptcy under the burden of the coronavirus outbreak? Back in July 2019, the US Congressional Budget Office examined the potential impact on jobs if $10, $12, and $15 minimum wage options were to be implemented. Among its findings, the CBO stated that under a $15 minimum wage, 27.3 million workers would see a likely boost in wages while upwards of 3.7 million workers could become jobless as a result of the change.

Justice Ginsburg's Fight for Gender Quality Yet Unfulfilled //ar.knoema.com/kibtwlb/justice-ginsburg-s-fight-for-gender-quality-yet-unfulfilled 2020-09-24T15:28:23Z Misha Gusev ar.knoema.com://ar.knoema.com/user/1000560
Justice Ginsburg's Fight for Gender Quality Yet Unfulfilled

(18 September 2020) Today US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, known as a champion of gender equality, passed away, sending thousands to the US Supreme Court grounds to mourn her loss. The timing of her passing is noteworthy as it overlapped with the internationally recognized 'Equal Pay Day', a concept near and dear to the cause that Justice Ginsburg supported throughout her life despite wavering profess since the days of the US Equal Pay Act of 1963.Caregiving and other unpaid obligations, differences in occupation, management level, and years of work experience are the major contributors to the gender pay gap, according to a 2016 study from Glassdoor. Accounting for these factors almost eliminates the pay gap. By 'gap' we are referring to the fact that full-time female workers in the United States are typically paid 82 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts, which translates into $10,194 less per year.To eliminate the gap and achieve the same lifetime earnings as a white male who retires at age 67, a woman would need to work an average of 10 additional years. Black, Native American, and Latina women would need to work until 94-103 years of age to earn the same as white men, a nearly impossible feat given that the average life expectancy at birth for US women barely exceeds 80.Only if by stroke of 'luck' you are an Asian woman working in Delaware you might earn as much as the average white male counterpart - around $58,000 per year. Assumptions: Workers start their careers at age 20; normal retirement age is 67; distribution of annual earnings around median is estimated based on data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Alcohol consumption and personal welfare

The analysis of alcohol consumption and personal welfare (GDP and GNI per capita and labor productivity) statistics shows that there is no just negative correlation between these two indicators. As it can be seen from the graphs below, interdependence between expenditures on alcoholic bevarages and personal welfare indicators can be well descripted with normal function. So, very little as well as very big amounts of alcohol consumed is bad for personal welfare, while moderate alcohol consumption contributes in favor of personal welfare.

Human Development Report 2014

 1) Norway Ranks 1 in Human development Index (HDI). HDI is considered a better measure of a country's progress than income growth.   On the positive side, India's HDI has risen by 1.7% annually since 1980. The report lauds India's contribution by way of its spillover development effect on other countries. For instance, it points out that Indian firms have been supplying affordable medicines, medical equipment and information and communication technology to other poorer countries.   2) It estimates that by 2020, the combined economic output of the three leading developing countries India, Brazil and China will surpass the aggregate production of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Personal Income: US Counties //ar.knoema.com/jcthnt/personal-income-us-counties 2015-08-06T16:19:19Z Alex Kulikov ar.knoema.com://ar.knoema.com/user/1847910
Personal Income: US Counties

Personal incomes vary greatly among counties across the United States. While in New York County, New York, the average personal income per capita was about $122,000 in 2013, in Telfair, Georgia it was seven times lower at only $17,500. In the poorest 100 counties in the US, per capita income is less than $26,500 ($2,208 per month) on average. The level of economic well-being strongly correlates with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, the former Food Stamp Program) participation rates on a county-by-county basis. In counties with relatively high incomes, the number of SNAP recipients is generally less than 5 percent of the population, while in low-income counties participation rates reach or exceed 50 percent. For example, in Shannon and Todd counties, South Dakota, the absolute majority of residents receive SNAP benefits (62% and 56% as of 2012, respectively). However, the correlation is not perfect. In some upper-middle-income counties SNAP participation rates are elevated because of high unemployment, among other factors.
