Scotland Tonight: Should there be a universal basic income?

Would a guaranteed basic income help improve people's living standards or create a system of institutionalised poverty?

Should Scotland introduce a universal basic income scheme? Cleo Goodman from Basic Income Conversation discusses the proposition with political commentator Ian Macwhirter. 

Several European countries are introducing a version of the initiative which aims to provide citizens a guaranteed level of income, but the idea has been criticised as introducing ‘ institutionalised poverty’ for thousands of people.
