기본소득의 ‘실현가능성’에 대한 탐색

초록

The purpose of this study is to explore a feasibility of the Basic Income (BI). Using the theoretical frameworks by De Wispelaere & Noguera(2012) and Torry(2016), the paper reviews the overall features of related discussions at various dimensions, such as financial, strategic, institutional, psychological, and behavioral feasibility. For the financial feasibility, we estimate total amount of budget of the ‘ideal’ model of the BI and ‘transitional’ one, respectively. In terms of strategic feasibility, we confirm the major political roles of BIKN(Basic Income Korean Network) and Mayor Lee Jae Myeong, and emphasize a necessity of solidarity among various strategic actors acting as green, labor, women and citizen. The administrative capacity of the government in the realization of the BI does not have any big issues, and it is necessary to discuss the conformity with the existing welfare programs within the reform discourse of the welfare state. In the case of psychological feasibility, the key frame of the press is quite different according to the tendency of the newspaper, and the public attitudes to the BI are not also the same. Experiments to verify behavioral feasibility are not relatively enough, and more active discussion is required in the process of institutionalization. In the process of transforming ‘production and labor’ oriented paradigm into a ‘distribution’ centered paradigm, an existence of major political agency and a level of social acceptancy are the most important, and efforts to expand the scope of it through active discussions and communication processes seem to be necessary.
