Universal Basic Services (UBS) is a system that guarantees free or affordable access to essential public services, such as healthcare, education, housing, and transportation, aiming to meet basic human needs and promote social equity whereas a Universal Basic Income (UBI) is an unconditional cash payment given monthly to all citizens or residents, regardless of their employment status, to ensure a basic standard of living and reduce poverty. For the purposes of this debate, the amount given to a citizen monthly under a UBI program is proportional to the amount the government would have spent to subsidise the citizen across the various UBS programs.
