Finland, which is in the Social Democratic Welfare States group in the welfare state classification by Esping-Andersen, has been seen as the pioneer of universal basic income practices in Europe.
In Finland, the first basic income experiment was proposed by Samuli Paronen in 1971 and after that many studies were conducted about the basic income experiment. The economic crises experienced in different periods in Finland caused a high level and long-term unemployment to emerge and the basic income experiment has come to the forefront in resolving the unemployment problem. Moreover, the national basic income experiment was designed for the first time during the Juha Sipilä Government period, and implemented for a period of two years, including the years of 2017-2018. The basic income experiment has been implemented on 2000 people between the ages of 25-58 who receive unemployment pay from Kela, the Finnish Social Insurance Institution. These people were paid a monthly tax-exempt basic income of 560 euros by Kela.In this study, the issue of universal basic income, which has come to the fore especially recently due to the COVID pandemic, is examined with the studies in the literature and evaluated with the Finland application. In the evaluation made, it was concluded that although universal basic income is quite effective in terms of employment and welfare, it is not very possible to apply in terms of cost.

Sosyal Demokrat Refah Devletlerinde Evrensel Temel Gelir: Finlandiya Örneği

Esping-Andersen tarafından yapılan refah devleti sınıflandırmasında Sosyal Demokrat Refah Devletleri grubunda bulunan Finlandiya Avrupa’da evrensel temel gelir uygulamalarının öncüsü olarak görülmektedir. Finlandiya’da temel gelir uygulaması ilk kez 1971 yılında Samuli Paronen tarafından önerilmiş ve sonrasında temel gelir uygulaması ile ilgili birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. Finlandiya’da çeşitli dönemlerde yaşanan ekonomik krizler yüksek oranda ve uzun süreli işsizliğin ortaya çıkmasına sebep olmuş; işsizlik sorununun ortadan kaldırılmasında temel gelir uygulaması ön plana çıkmıştır. Juha Sipilä Hükümeti döneminde ilk kez ulusal temel gelir uygulaması tasarlanmış ve 2017-2018 yıllarını kapsayacak biçimde iki yıllık bir süre için hayata geçirilmiştir. Temel gelir uygulaması Finlandiya Sosyal Sigorta Kurumu olan Kela’dan işsizlik ücreti alan 25-58 yaş arası 2000 kişi üzerinde uygulanmıştır. Bu kişilere Kela tarafından vergilendirmeden muaf 560 Avro aylık ücret ödemesi yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, özellikle son dönemde, COVID salgını nedeni ile gündeme gelen evrensel temel gelir konusu literatürde yer alan çalışmalar ile incelenmekte ve Finlandiya uygulaması ile değerlendirilmektedir. Yapılan değerlendirmede evrensel temel gelirin istihdam ve refah açısından oldukça etkili olmasına rağmen, maliyet açısından uygulanmasının çok mümkün olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
