Abstract
The new configuration of global economic actors and the dampening of productive activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought ideals like Universal Basic Income (UBI) to the forefront in the search for alternatives to national development. However, UBI faces resistance as it is associated with discouraging labor activity, which would affect the proper functioning of the economy. The objective of this research was to analyze the condition of work and income in Brazil based on data obtained from the Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua – Divulgação Trimestral (PNADC/T), for the period 2012-2022, with the intention of delineating its current scenario and assessing whether UBI would bring about the negative impacts associated with it in the economy. The results demonstrate that the supply of work and income does not respond to job and income generation programs and tends towards precariousness and informality in the world of work, along with restricted access to income, which does not constitute an impediment to the adoption of UBI.
