Essay: Which countries could afford a basic income tomorrow? A map of 211 countries

How the map is built

Cost: every resident, of every age, gets the World Bank’s international poverty line of $3.00 a day (in 2021 purchasing power parity, PPP) for a year. It is converted into local currency with the World Bank’s PPP conversion factor for household consumption. For 34 countries and territories without a usable factor, the market exchange rate is used instead, which makes $3 a day worth more there.

Revenue: central government tax revenue as a share of GDP (World Bank, GC.TAX.TOTL.GD.ZS), the latest year, used only if it is no more than 5 years older than the GDP year; total revenue if tax revenue is missing. Years used: 2024 (93), 2023 (19), 2022 (8), 2021 (9), 2020 (10). Japan, which has no recent World Bank figure, is compared with tax and stamp revenue in its FY2026 national budget. State and local taxes are not counted.

This is the gross cost. It does not subtract the existing benefits a basic income could replace, or the part that would come back through taxes.

Grey (hatched): 71 countries and territories without a recent tax revenue figure, and places that are not in the data at all, such as Taiwan, North Korea, Eritrea, South Sudan and Yemen. Small countries are drawn as dots; every country is in the table.
