One of the main elements of Yangs bid for the 2020 presidential nomination, which he officially launched in November 2017, is a proposal for Universal Basic Income (UBI), known as the Freedom Dividend, for every American adult aged 18-64, in response to the rapid development of automation that is leading to workforce challenges.
