Seed data in the corpus. 4,998 of 5,000 respondents (99.9%) are generated, not people, and they are counted in every figure on this site — the map, the nation atlas, the blocs and the phenotype shares alike. Figures here are therefore not yet a measurement of any population. Real answers are being collected alongside them and this notice shrinks as they arrive. How the seed was built →

The questions that bear on universal basic income

Asked as a forced choice between two written positions, in randomised order, with the sides flipped for half of respondents.

A · Money from the state should go to people who work, or who clearly need it.
B · The state should pay everyone enough to live on, with no strings.
World, unweighted: 24% A · 20% neither · 56% B · n = 4775
🇧🇪 n=0
of 100
A · If machines take the jobs, people must retrain and move on.
B · If machines take the jobs, the state must guarantee an income.
World, unweighted: 24% A · 23% neither · 52% B · n = 4736
🇧🇪 n=0
of 100

A national figure appears only once that nation clears 100 responses on the question. The world column is a raw count of every answer received and is not post-stratified — it is shown because withholding it would say less, not more.
