Abstract

The article analyzes current and completed basic income projects in developing countries as well as their matching the conditions of the income. Moreover, the article shows the difference of the projects: financial approaches and organizers' aims. It has been found out that the basic income is not universal for all the population in developing countries. It is allocated only to those who are struggling poverty. The article evaluates the potential of running local implemented projects at the national/state level. Finally, it is explained why this cannot be implemented in every case.
