| Sumario: | In the present study, we evaluate the impact of an educational intervention on Universal Basic Income (UBI) in two study groups in Argentina. An interview design was used with a treatment group that received training and a control group, both evaluated after the intervention using structured surveys administered to a total of 28 participants. The results demonstrate that the training significantly increased the understanding of UBI, with an improvement in the identification of its essential characteristic: unconditionality. The trained group also showed a more critical and realistic view of the fiscal challenges, an aspect that is the main concern of the respondents. Although a slight inclination towards favorable positions was observed, doubts persist about its fiscal viability and its labor effects. The work concludes that economic education is a relevant tool to foster an informed public debate on innovative redistributive policies in the Argentine context. |
