Professor Louise Haagh is featured in the article "Why giving everyone in Yorkshire a universal basic income could help region - and country - recover from pandemic" in the Yorkshire Post today.

The article argues that "Proponents of a universal basic income (UBI), a system where everyone in the UK would be given a regular, unconditional sum, believe that once the Government’s schemes to support workers through the Covid-19 crisis fall away, their concept could be key to ensuring society’s most vulnerable do not fall into destitution."
