This question will resolve Yes if the program implemented is a full universal basic income program where every citizen receives a guaranteed income regardless of their existing income level or employment status.
for the context of this question the full basic income will have to be higher than the current International Poverty Line (IPL) defined by the World Bank according to the status of the income of the country adjusted for Purchasing power parity. currently its "a global absolute minimum, to $2.15 per day (in PPP). In addition, as of 2022, $3.65 per day in PPP for lower-middle income countries, and $6.85 per day in PPP for upper-middle income countries."

The market can resolve to YES if a program like Canada's GBI is implemented, as long as it meets the market's core criteria: being guaranteed for every citizen regardless of their existing income level or employment status.

• Update 2025-11-27 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has clarified the methodology for determining if a UBI program meets the income threshold:

  • The nominal payment amount must be converted to PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) equivalent using the country's PPP conversion factor

  • This PPP-adjusted amount is then compared against the World Bank's International Poverty Line for that country's income classification

  • For the Marshall Islands example: a $800/year nominal payment converts to approximately $738/year PPP, which falls short of the required $1,332/year PPP threshold for upper-middle income countries
