Perhaps and even better, as advertised in other UBI sections of this forum, some insights on the current developments of UBI can be seen in the pages of the:
Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN)

Members of BIEN include academics, students and social policy practitioners as well as people actively engaged in political, social and religious organisations. They vary in terms of disciplinary backgrounds, political affiliations, age, and nationality.

The mission of the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) is to offer education to the wider public about alternative arguments about, proposals for, and problems concerning, basic income as idea, institution, and public policy practice. To this end, BIEN organises public conferences around the world on an annual basis, promotes research, serves as a research repository, and publishes news, research, and opinion articles. BIEN is associated with an academic journal, Basic Income Studies.

BIEN does not subscribe to any particular Basic Income scheme, but instead fosters evidenced-based research and plural debate about Basic Income. Opinions expressed on this website are not necessarily those of BIEN. BIEN remains neutral among competing arguments for and against Basic Income, and among different views on the relation of Basic Income with other ideas and policies.
