In the pandemic era, the discussion of basic income, which allows individuals to escape market dependence in order to overcome the limitations of the selective welfare system, is more active than ever. However, basic income in the full sense is somewhat utopian, and its chances of success seem difficult to predict. In this study, the possibility of introducing a local governmenttype basic income was examined using Gwangju-City as an example.
First of all, in order to introduce a feasible local government-type basic income that can be started first, i examined the various allowances, services, and working time-related systems currently carried out in Gwangju-City by gender, class, and life cycle. And it was designed not only to get closer to the idea of basic income, but also to cover the blind spots that are not currently accepted within the social security system.
This study focuses on the effects of the ‘Minncome’ case in Dauphin, Canada, and the case of Bolsa Familia in Brazil in that it proposes a basic income allowance system that can induce work-life balance (Guy Standing, 2018). If an allowance system based on the concept of basic income is introduced, as in overseas cases, it will have a positive impact on the lives of citizens in some way, as well as on gender equality and individual work-life balance. It is clear that this will ultimately lead to a change in gender equality in gender relations, so it is worth experimenting.
