Juliana Bidadanure is Assistant Professor of Political Philosophy at Stanford University and Faculty director of the Stanford Basic Income Lab - a research initiative created in February 2017 to provide an academic home to the study and development of UBI, stimulate research, advise those developing policies and carrying out experiments, aggregate and disseminate research findings, and convene scholars, policy makers, and leaders in business, think tanks, nonprofits, and foundations around the politics of UBI.
Juliana Bidadanure's research is at the intersection of Philosophy and Public Policy. She has been working on how we should conceptualize the value of equality in general, and she has mainly focused so far on inequalities between age groups and generations, and on the question of what it means to treat young people as equals. She is currently completing a book under contract with Oxford University Press, tentatively titled "Justice across ages: an essay on what it means for young and old to be equal." The manuscript provides a critical framework that serves to distinguish between acceptable and objectionable inequalities between co-existing generations.
It investigates two overlapping questions: (1) how should ressources like jobs, income, and political positions should be distributed across the lifespan - and thus, between people of different age; and (2) what does it mean for younger and older members of a community to relate to each other as equals. The book also evaluates suitable policies to alleviate youth unemployment, poverty and exclusion. In particular, It looks at the youth job guarantee, unconditional basic income, basic capital, and the introduction of youth quotas in parliament.
