Basic Income Pilot Project (BI Pilot)

The Basic Income Pilot Project (BI Pilot) is a government initiative testing whether providing regular, unconditional cash payments to individuals can improve their financial stability, health, and well-being. Unlike traditional welfare programs that have strict eligibility rules, basic income offers a consistent income regardless of employment status or other factors. The pilot aims to evaluate its effects on reducing poverty, increasing economic security, and encouraging workforce participation. By studying these outcomes, policymakers can better understand the potential benefits and challenges of implementing a universal or targeted basic income system on a larger scale.
