Primary arguments for universal basic income are:

- It reduces poverty and income inequality and increases mental and physical well-being.
- It leads to positive job growth and reduces school drop out rates.
- It empowers unpaid caregivers, often women, with a guaranteed unconditional income.
- It removes the costs and bureaucracy involved in approval a 
 control processes required in conditional welfare systems.

Primary arguments against universal basic income are:

- It increases poverty by taking money currently used for the poor and distributing it to everyone.
- It reduces the incentive to work and invest in skills and careers.
- It is too expensive since a significant portion of the tax income needs to be distributed over all citizens..
