This book provides an in-depth analysis of participatory income as a potential solution to poverty and unemployment in high-income countries, exploring its effects on social protection and eco-social transition. It advocates for a participatory income model that enforces reciprocity with reduced means-testing and offers practical advantages in reducing poverty and developing an eco-social welfare model.

This groundbreaking book offers the first comprehensive exploration of participatory income and its potential to combat endemic poverty and unemployment in high-income countries. In-depth analysis is provided by Heikki Hiilamo, who reviews the concept of basic income and specific basic income experiments before presenting participatory income as a viable alternative in the fight against poverty. The book is highly relevant, with chapters addressing pressing issues such as the impact of automation on the future of work and the connections between social protection and eco-social transition. Hiilamo argues that any reform of social assistance should prioritize reciprocity by reducing means-testing, and explores the practical advantages of the participation income model in reducing poverty and developing an eco-social welfare model.
Tackling one of the most contentious debates in social policy, this book is a valuable resource for scholars and students in the fields of welfare and labor economics, labor policy, and the sociology of work. Its use of examples and case studies will also benefit practitioners and policy makers.
