Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this article is to compare two widely discussed proposals for the reform of the developed welfare state: Unconditional Basic Income and the Job Guarantee. These proposals will be reviewed by taking into account the costs and the financing conditions, the impact on the existing the social security network, the impact on income inequality, the emancipation effect and the political possibilities of implementation. The conclusions highlighted in the summary focus on the differing needs of the core and peripheral countries, and suggest that a small empirical experience of the UBI, its potentially unfavorable macroeconomic impact, and the uncertain emancipation points towards the more convincing proposition of a job guarantee.
