Universal basic income to be trialed in England
(rmx.news)https://rmx.news/article/universal-basic-income-to-be-trialed-in-england/Plans have been announced to trial a universal basic income (UBI) in England that would see up to 30 people receive an unconditional payment of £1,600 (€1,854) a month.
Under the scheme, which is the first of its kind in England, residents in central Jarrow, northeast England, and East Finchley, north London, will be handed the funds each month for two years, and researchers will monitor the effect the payment has on their work ethic and mental well-being.
The trial run has been organized by the progressive Autonomy think tank, which is seeking to fund the £1.6 million (€1.85 million) scheme through private donors. The initiative is not being paid for by U.K. taxpayers and is not affiliated with the British government.
