Less than half of the Dutch supported the idea of a basic income for everyone, without the obligation to do anything in return. In 2016, 40 percent of survey respondents said to be in favor of this proposal. Three years later, this had decreased to 38 percent.
Do you think a basic income for everyone is a good idea?
This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Er is een voorstel om te komen tot een basisinkomen: iedereen zou van overheidswege een bepaald – beperkt –
inkomen ontvangen, ongeacht andere inkomsten en zonder de verplichting om zich beschikbaar te stellen voor de
arbeidsmarkt. Het systeem van belastingen en uitkeringen wordt hier dan op aangepast. Vindt u dit een goed voorstel?" (English: There is a proposal to establish a basic income: everyone would receive a (limited) income from the government, regardless of other income and without the obligation to be available for the job market. The tax system and social security benefits is adapted to this. Do you think this is a good proposal?)
The results have been weighted to represent the entire population.
