Who stands to profit from a basic income grant? | Q&A with Open Secrets investigators
In this episode of Open Secrets Radio, we discuss the key issues surrounding the potential implementation of a Basic Income Grant in South Africa and ask, who stands to profit?
The discussion examines the concept of a basic income grant as a form of social protection; its potential to address poverty and inequality; and concerns around the digitization of South Africa’s grant system. Perhaps most importantly, we discuss what the potential for a basic income grant is given South Africa’s new Government of National Unity (GNU).
This podcast is based on a 3-part article series by Open Secrets, published in GroundUp.
