Universal basic income as a preferential social dividend a proposal for the Colombian case

This paper proposes creating a Citizen's Universal Fund (CUF) (Fondo Universal Ciudadano, FUC), an enterprise having social patrimony, to which each Colombian would be associated through acquiring a share promising to pay her a perpetual income (after holding the share for 20 years), which we shall call the Preferential Social Dividend (PSD), (Dividendo Social Preferencial, DSP). The proposal is motivated by two objectives: the search for an effective solution to the problem of poverty and achieving real freedom for Colombians within the framework of a globalised economy, where people examine the markets in the search for greater well-being.
