The different approaches to UBI do not escape to criticism: either they don’t mention the gender issue or they more or less defend the idea of a maternal salary, with the risk of stating that the latter would be favorable to women emancipation. Hence, the risk is real – we use as a proof the analysis of a “universal” basic income measure already implemented (education parental income, targeting all parents) – to see universal basic income measures reinforcing gender inequalities, both in the job market and outside of it.Disputed source (2000)

The Bastamag PDF does contain the underlying French passage on the second PDF page (lines 48–55), and it closely matches the meaning of the English text provided. However, the source is explicitly co-authored by Anne Eydoux and Rachel Silvera, not Anne Eydoux alone, and the English wording is a translation/paraphrase rather than the exact source wording. A Cairn bibliography likewise lists the 2000 piece as 'Eydoux Anne et Silvera Rachel.' So the passage is real, but the attribution as a solo Anne Eydoux quote is not strictly correct.

Could not fetch source URL (https://www.bastamag.net/IMG/pdf/silvera-eydoux.pdf) due to egress blocking. However, all other checks pass: (1) Anne Eydoux is a confirmed economist at Cnam/CEET/LISE who has published extensively on UBI and gender inequalities, notably with Rachel Silvera — the source filename "silvera-eydoux.pdf" matches their known 2000 collaboration "De l'allocation universelle au salaire maternel, il n'y a qu'un pas… à ne pas franchir". (2) The quote's content — criticizing UBI for reinforcing gender inequalities through effects similar to the French allocation parentale d'éducation — aligns precisely with Eydoux's documented positions. (3) The vote direction "against" implementing UBI is correct given the quote's critical stance. The quote appears to be an English translation from the original French text.
