10. Implementing an Athletic Basic Income (ABI) in Taiwan could
transform the sports landscape by providing financial stability for
athletes, enhancing their training and performance, and fostering a
more inclusive sports culture. However, its success hinges on
sustainable funding, legislative changes, public support, and
effective administration, making it a potential model for other
nations seeking to drive positive change in sports.
