Let’s take the position of women in society. Some advocates of the universal allowance claim that it would strengthen it. But providing an income is not emancipation. Emancipation is ensuring that men and women can participate in life in society, and this happens in particular through the world of work. Giving the same income to everyone does not give everyone the same opportunities to choose; it is an illusion, because everyone’s starting point is not the same. Once again, this is a slogan. The universal allowance is about treating the symptom, not the disease. (source)
