UBI experiments

Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments involve providing a regular, unconditional cash payment to a group of people to assess its impact on well-being, employment, and economic stability. These trials aim to understand whether offering a basic income reduces poverty, encourages entrepreneurship, or affects work motivation. Different countries and communities have tested UBI on varying scales, evaluating its potential to simplify social welfare systems and promote economic security. Results help policymakers make informed decisions about broader implementation, weighing benefits like increased financial safety against challenges such as funding and labor market effects.
