Guaranteed Income Pilot Programs

Guaranteed Income Pilot Programs are experiments where select individuals receive regular, unconditional payments to help cover basic living costs. These programs aim to assess whether providing steady income can reduce poverty, improve well-being, and support economic stability. Participants keep the money regardless of employment status or other income, allowing researchers to analyze the impacts on health, employment, and financial security. Such pilots help inform policies on implementing wider income support systems by testing effectiveness and identifying potential challenges before broader adoption.
