‘Many of you live from day to day, without any type of legal guarantee to protect you… You have no steady income to get you through this hard time… This may be the time to consider a universal basic wage which would acknowledge and dignify the noble, essential tasks you carry out… It would ensure and concretely achieve the ideal, at once so human and so Christian, of no worker without rights’. Pope Francis, Easter Letter, accompanying his traditional Urbi et Orbi address from the Vatican on Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020.
