[Spanish minister proposes
€20,000 ‘universal inheritance’ from age of 18 Yolanda Díaz says money for study, training or starting a business would ensure ‘equality of opportunity’] [Spain’s leftwing labour minister, Yolanda Díaz, has proposed a scheme to tackle social inequality by giving every young person in the country €20,000 (£17,000) to be spent on study, training or setting up a business once they reach the age of 18. According to Díaz’s Sumar platform, which announced the policy before Spain’s snap general election on 23 July, the initiative would cost €10bn, which would be raised by taxing the rich. Sumar said the aim was to guarantee “equality of opportunity” regardless of people’s family backgrounds or earnings. The payments, which would begin at the age of 18 and continue until the age of 23, would be accompanied by administrative support to help people study, train or establish their own business.] https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...from-age-of-18 |
