Countries that switch from non-democracy to democracy achieve about a 20% increase in GDP per capita over the following 30 years. The impact of democracy on growth does not seem to depend on the level of development. Basic income in Namibia led to an increase of citizens engaged in income-generating activities from 44% to 55%.
