This
study contributes to the emerging literature on public opinion on a universal
basic income (UBI) not only by investigating the role of basic human values in
influencing support for UBI but also by examining the moderating role of
welfare state development in the association between basic human values and UBI
support. Using the European Social Survey (ESS) Round 8 in 2016, which has an
item asking whether to support UBI and the 21-item measure of human values that
is based on the Schwartz theory of basic human values, the results show that individual
universalism is positively and significantly associated with support for UBI,
while benevolence has a negative relationship; power and achievement are
positively linked to support for UBI. Additionally, in advanced welfare states,
people who are more inclined towards individual universalism are more likely to
support UBI; by contrast, in underdeveloped welfare states, this relationship
is not apparent.
