ABSTRACT

The basic income for the lifetime selection period is a system that unconditionally guarantees the right to receive the minimum and sufficient basic income for a certain period of time selected by oneself during the working life. The concept of basic income use rights during the lifetime selection period is a necessary system in the transition period. It is a gradual and moderate approach that complements the limitations and fills the cracks faced by the current Korean social security system, and contains a forward-looking value that supports real freedom and challenging actions as active citizens based on the stable basic life of each individual. It also contains the government's nudge role to lead moral citizens rather than moral hazard while supporting the real freedom of individuals in the face of increased anxiety due to personalization of risk. In the sense that it enables the challenge as a free and creative active citizen based on stability, the proposal of the right to use basic income for the lifetime selection period can be an alternative to the developmental future that contains the uncertain but considerable opportunities led by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In addition, while the basic income for the lifetime selection period is well harmonized with the current social security system, it can contribute to a good policy experiment for the future social security and distribution system by scientifically verifying various issues related to the introduction of basic income.
