Innovative mechanisms of formation of unconditional basic income

The article is devoted to the disclosure of the features of introducing unconditional basic income under the conditions of the spread of digitization and automation of all spheres of human activity. UBI can play a critical role in poverty alleviation by extending social protection to informal workers, promoting gender equality, stimulating the macro-economy during crises and redistributing dividends from natural wealth. It outlines a situation where the UBI appears to be a particularly appropriate approach to redistribute the gains from automation and globalization by creating an effective and transparent barrier against global instability and systemic risks, creating positive incentives and avoiding recurring risks of impoverishment. Attention is paid to the specifics of the relationship between IT companies and their employees, thanks to which the latter get the opportunity to purchase company shares under special conditions and at discounted prices, and a comparison of this approach with the position of Kuwaiti citizens in the context of the UBI is made. The role of the leading states, in particular the G7, which, with the help of special tax methods, are trying to regulate the activities of multinational corporations, while striving to ensure the so-called digital transition, is emphasized. With regard to Ukraine, the importance of balanced development of all sectors of the economy and ensuring economic growth after the abolition of benefits for the IT industry was emphasized. It is concluded that the implementation of stock option programs or benefits, similar to those that exist in Kuwait for citizens of the state, will help to overcome poverty, conserve resources and reduce the impact of human activities on the natural environment, and therefore ensure the sustainable development of the country.
