Abstract
Unconditionality is the main feature of the idea of basic income. What we saw in last decades is development of conditional cash transfers in developed and especially in developing countries. The tension between expansive conditionality and proposals of unconditional basic income is the main interest of this article. First, author develops understanding of conditionality distinguishing three types of it with the consideration of the definition, role and effectiveness of social sanctions. The context for presentation of this topics is the classical construct of social security system with main social insurance pillar dependent on labour market participation and supplemental social assistance one for those without social insurance entitlements and poor. Against this background author assess some weaknesses of the case for the basic income supported by Guy Standing and some possibilities of making them less persuasive.References
