Hi Emma! Here's my peer review:

Content and Organization

The draft is written in a very clear and concise way. Despite it being a short paragraph, there is a lot of information shared to the reader. Explaining the racial and gender implications of policy is not easy to do especially to a general audience, but I think you do a great job incorporating an intersectional analysis in a simple way for readers to understand. As was discussed in class, she describes how the strong relationship between work and income hinders women from obtaining employer-based social benefits. There is a clear connection made between the how the implementation of a Universal Basic Income will benefit women. Reproduction labor will then be recognized as "real" labor. Because UBI is based on citizenship, it would be interesting if you could expand on the limitations of this program. For example, what about immigrant women? How does using citizenship as the only requirement leaves out an important share of the population? This way you can expand your intersectional analysis to include how citizenship status acts as a barrier for many people to achieve social mobility.

Sources

I think you used really good sources to show the connection between work/income and inequality. They are all reliable, current and all the links work. I liked that you used a direct quote as well, as it increases the credibility of the source. I think it would be good though to maybe make shorten it and expand on how it connects to UBI, for example.

Overall Impressions

The last sentence seems to be making a claim about the effectiveness of UBI, I would simply add that the supporters of UBI are the ones claiming that it would help women. That way you make the statement seem more neutral.

Other than that, I think your draft really provides an intersectional lens to UBI and its connection to welfare. It is really well-written and straightforward.
