He holds doctorates in the social sciences (Louvain, 1977) and in philosophy (Oxford, 1980).
He is one of the founders of the Basic Income European Network (BIEN), which became the Basic Income Earth Network in 2014 and he chairs its International Board.

In Real Freedom for All: What (if anything) can justify capitalism? (1995) he argues for both the justice and feasibility of a basic income for every citizen. Van Parijs asserts that it promotes the achievement of a real freedom to make choices. For example, he purports that one cannot really choose to stay at home to raise children or start a business if one cannot afford to. As proposed by Van Parijs, such freedom should be feasible through taxing the scarce, valued social good of jobs, as a form of income redistribution.
