This question was phrased by the source as follows: "“Er is een voorstel om te komen tot een basisinkomen: iedereen zou van overheidswege een bepaald – beperkt –
inkomen ontvangen, ongeacht andere inkomsten en zonder de verplichting om zich beschikbaar te stellen voor de
arbeidsmarkt. Het systeem van belastingen en uitkeringen wordt hier dan op aangepast. Hoe hoog zou het basisinkomen (het individuele netto maandinkomen) wat u betreft moeten zijn?" (English: There is a proposal to establish a basic income: everyone would receive a (limited) income from the government, regardless of other income and without the obligation to be available for the job market. The tax system and social security benefits is adapted to this. How high should the basic income (the individual net monthly income) be in your opinion?)
The results have been weighted to represent the entire population.
