芬兰计划每人每月发800欧元津贴

The Finnish government is currently drawing up plans to introduce a national basic income. A final proposal won’t be presented until November 2016, but if all goes to schedule, Finland will scrap all existing benefits and instead hand out €800 ($870) per month—to everyone.

芬兰政府目前正在计划推出一项国家基本收入计划。该计划最早可能从2016年11月开始实施，如果一切顺利的话，芬兰将取消现有的一切福利制度，每月发800欧元（870美元）给公民。

It sounds far-fetched, but it’s looking likely that Finland will carry through with the idea. Whereas several Dutch cities will introduce basic income next year and Switzerland is holding a referendum on the subject, there is strongest political and public support for the idea in Finland.

这听起来就像是天方夜谭，但芬兰似乎想要实现这一计划。而荷兰的几个城市将在明年实施基本收入计划，瑞士正对这一问题举行全民投票，因此芬兰实现这一计划有强大的政治和公共的支持。

A poll commissioned by the government agency planning the proposal, the Finnish Social Insurance Institution or KELA, showed that 69% support (link in Finnish) a basic income plan. Prime minister Juha Sipilä is in favor of the idea and he’s backed by most of the major political parties. “For me, a basic income means simplifying the social security system,” he says.
