Abstract
At present, the precarious jobs do not assure the subsistence level, and the future forecasts
“the end of work”. In addition, because of the defects and limits of the welfare systems, a rethinking of
the social protection system is necessary: universal basic income seems to be the most popular option.
However, basic income may represent a break with the traditional market rules: the model is inverted
and the citizen gains “ freedom from work”, and not “through work”. This paradigm shift may represent
a challenge for today’s model of social state based on the work ethic. Although the basic income is
usually based on the idea of social reform, the perception of this study is that its implementation should
be guided by a policy of small advances, which ultimately make possible a partial reform of the Social
Security system, not its dismantling. This work shows that the German labour market, the Constitution,
and the social state are not currently prepared for or in need of a universal Basic Income.
Key words
United Nations, Inequality, Precariousness.
