Minimum Income Guarantee - Why a Minimum Income Guarantee Matters
-
24 March 2026
Poverty remains one of Scotland’s most pressing injustices - with far too many people struggling to afford basics like housing, food, heating and transport. At CAB, we’re calling for a Minimum Income Guarantee to ensure no one falls below an income that allows for a dignified life. It’s about fairness, security, and opportunity for all.
A Minimum Income Guarantee combines fair paid work, high quality services, and stronger social security to build a foundation for a better life for everyone.
