social services, while basic income schemes only guarantee income; (c) the concept of
basic income security is broader than basic income cash transfers, since it also
includes in-kind transfers; (d) social protection floors focus not only on achieving
social guarantees for all, but also on gradually implementing higher standards; (e)
social protection floors are not viewed as alternatives to social insurance
institutions, 105 while some basic income proponents aim to replace existing social
insurance institutions; and (f) the Social Protection Floors Recommendation, 2012
(No. 202) is premised upon human rights, unlike most basic income schemes. But the
proponents of the two approaches have an immense amount in common, and if it is
recognized that basic income is not an idea that can be achieved in a single leap, there
could be no better and more elaborate and widely supported programme than that for
the social protection floor.
