I recently read about the Finnish social experiment with guaranteed income. It seems that there were ko expected positive results beyond individual improved perception of wellbeing.

I would tie the guarenteed income to the performance of some easy monthly tasks, that are known for supporting happiness, especially meaning in life. Write a thank you letter, write one page about your best experience in life, write what you would like to have your freinds say what kind of life you have lead when you are 70. - People may loose meaning in life when they do not have to perform any task to ean money (peonsion shock). This way they are completely free on what they find valuable, but they are obliged to think about what they find valuable.

Once income is guarented, who is going to be motivated to work for own development??? Maybe only a few who are self-motivated. Then Who are going to lead the development? Think about!

Guaranteed income is a realisation of deep institutional dynamics. Take the Scandinavian countries. Look at their norms and values, and the checks against abuse of societal assistance. These structures were not built overnight. They have evolved. Now take countries at the margin of income, say African countries. They had social structures that supported equity. However, over the past two centuries, those social structures have faced excitations across the world. So, we ask, how will the dynamics evolve? Will the social structures recover their old values of equity (and human civility)? In a way, those are the questions that should drive thoughts on PPP in Africa. Cf.

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,

The above discussion inspired me to formulate the following question:

The importance of guaranteed income in terms of activating domestic economic growth.

The above discussion inspired me to formulate the following question:

What is the role of guaranteed income as an instrument for activating domestic economic growth?

On the basis of the above considerations and conclusions from the discussion on interesting issues discussed, I formulated the following thesis that in connection with the potential long-term slowdown of economic growth in the global economy and in many developed and developing countries in the following years, the importance of guaranteed income in the activation of domestic economic growth is growing. In recent years, some countries have been considering introducing guaranteed income as an additional interventionist instrument for activating domestic economic growth. I study this issue on the example of the 500 Plus Program as an interventionist, pro-development socio-economic policy. The conclusions of the research are included in my publications posted on the Research Gate portal (Research topics: 500 Plus Program).

Below I have described the key determinants confirming the formulated research thesis. To the above discussion I would like to add the following conclusion formulated as a summary of my previous considerations on this topic: The role of guaranteed income as an instrument for the activation of domestic economic growth.

Due to the current trade wars waged between the largest economies of the world for a year or so in a number of countries and on a global scale, there has been a decline in economic activity in business sectors, a decline in economic growth, income, production and investment. In the context of the deepening global economic downturn, internal markets are activated in many countries by developing socio-economic policy programs aimed at activating the consumption of citizens and activating entrepreneurship, investment and employment growth in the enterprise sector. One of the elements of pro-development, interventionist, Keynesian socio-economic policy is the implementation and development of programs activating the consumption of citizens.

One of the key instruments of this type of pro-development socio-economic policy is establishing and providing citizens with a minimum level of guaranteed income and ensuring by the state from public funds the payment of certain guaranteed income to citizens. In my publications I described this issue on the example of the Family 500 Plus Program.

In addition to this second program supporting consumption, providing citizens with an optimal minimum subsistence, functioning in society, improving financial status, living conditions of citizens, and improving the housing situation, the Flat Plus Program (Flat Plus Program) is being developed in my country. I described the pro-development socio-economic policy programs in my publications, which are available on the Research Gate website.

These programs have been implemented for over 3 years and already bring positive effects both in terms of improving the life and economic situation of citizens and are also an important factor in the activation of domestic, internal economic growth. In this way, if these programs are effectively developed, they may be one of the key determinants limiting the negative effects of the global decline in economic growth, which through financial, trade, etc., reach specific national economies to a certain extent.

In line with the above, in my opinion, due to the potential long-term slowdown of economic growth in the global economy and in many developed and developing countries in the following years, the importance of guaranteed income in terms of activating domestic economic growth is growing. In recent years, some countries have been considering introducing guaranteed income as an additional interventionist instrument for activating domestic economic growth. I study this issue on the example of the 500 Plus Program as an interventionist, pro-development socio-economic policy. The conclusions of the research are included in my publications posted on the Research Gate portal (Research topics: 500 Plus Program).

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

I conduct research in this area. The conclusions of the research I published in scientific publications that are available on the Research Gate portal.

In connection with the above, I am asking you the following questions:

- Is social policy based on the implementation and development of guaranteed income programs ensured for citizens an important factor in stimulating consumption and improving domestic economic growth?

- Is the development of socio-economic policy consisting in improving the material, housing and financial situation of citizens an important factor in the development-oriented, interventionist and anti-crisis economic policy that can significantly reduce the negative effects of the global decline in economic growth?

- What other types of socio-economic policy programs, in addition to those discussed in my publications, Family 500 Plus Program and Flat Plus Program (Flat Plus Program) can be used as important factors for stimulating economic growth?

- Is the 500 Plus Program an important instrument of interventionist, pro-development socio-economic policy?

- Is the significance of guaranteed income in terms of activating domestic economic growth growing in recent years?

- What is the role of guaranteed income as an instrument for activating domestic economic growth?

- What do you think about this topic?

- What is your opinion on this topic?

Please reply.

I invite you to discussion and scientific cooperation.

Thank you very much.

Best wishes.

Dear All,

Therefore, the following question arises: Is guaranteed income one of the important factors that limit the scale of the developing deconstruction, e.g. the current economic crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic?

What do you think about it? Regards, have a nice day,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Performance based support system helping those who help themseves may be the answer.

Key is Economic discrimination via Incentive differentiation based on self improvement

Dear Sung-Hee Jwa, A very correct remark in terms of content. Thank you very much for your answer. I fully agree with your opinion. Best wishes, Have a nice day,
