Universal Basic Income Discussion 5
Hi Hellen, I have a new assignment for you, it should be 1 page,
1-) Is a Universal Basic Income the best answer to increased automation leading to job loss? Why or why not?
2-) Would you want to telecommute? Why or why not?
3-) Would you pay double the price for say, a T-shirt, if it meant fair wages for foreign workers? What about a phone? Suggested reading: this wikipedia entry on Foxconn suicides
4-) By offshoring, are we taking advantage of the foreign programmers, perhaps exploiting them by paying them less than we would have to pay the U.S. programmers?
5-) Who should be responsible for assuring human rights of workers in international trade – the country in which the company is based, or the country in which the workers are based?
