But what are the\u003cbr\u003e features of UBI? What is it meant to achieve? How do we know, and\u003cbr\u003e what don't we know, about its performance? What does it take to implement\u003cbr\u003e it in practice? Drawing from global evidence, literature, and survey data, this\u003cbr\u003e volume provides a framework to elucidate issues and trade-offs in UBI with a view\u003cbr\u003e to help inform choices around its appropriateness and feasibility in different contexts.\u003cbr\u003e Specifically, the book examines how UBI differs from or complements other\u003cbr\u003e social assistance programs in terms of objectives, coverage, incidence, adequacy, \u003cbr\u003e incentives, effects on poverty and inequality, financing, political economy, and\u003cbr\u003e implementation. It also reviews past and current country experiences, surveys the\u003cbr\u003e full range of existing policy proposals, provides original results from micro+\"tax benefit\u003cbr\u003e simulations, and sets out a range of considerations around the analytics and\u003cbr\u003e practice of UBI.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe World Bank came into formal existence in 1945 following the international ratification of the Bretton Woods agreements.
