- Abstract
- This introductory chapter to the collective volume entitled "Basic Income in Japan" (2014) focuses on some of the background conditions of the Japanese debate about welfare state reform. We insist, in particular, on the tensions between the ideal of a “Right to Subsistence,” and the policies aimed at implementing an “Obligation to Work” - which obviously tend to affect the feasibility of an unconditional basic income. At the end of this introduction, we also give a brief overview of the contents of the collective volume.
