Episode 211: Talking UBI, part 3

from Talk Policy To Me Hosted by UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy and the Berkeley Institute for the Future of Young Americans

How can we fix the stigma around welfare? Welfare is deeply politicized and often stigmatized. Social support programs are strongly centered around beneficiaries working. Has it always been this way? Are we destined to be stuck with these political perspectives? In today's episode, UC Berkeley MPP student Sarah Edwards wraps up the three-part series around Universal Basic Income and the Social Safety Net. She examines a crossroads moment in our nation's history when the Social Safety Net conversation began to talk about the "deserving" vs "undeserving" poor. She then speaks with the California Budget and Policy Center's Sara Kimberlin to explore California's new policies driving the future of our safety net—and how we might not be as far from a UBI as it seems. Special thanks to James Hawkins (MPP '18) for research support on this episode.
