Finland became the first country in the world to start in January 2017 a practical experiment whereby it would pay a small sample of unemployed citizens an unconditional monthly sum. The first stage of the Finnish basic income experiment was launched in January 2017. The purpose of the two-year experiment is to see if a basic income can help to boost employment. The experiment is conducted among 2,000 persons between ages 25 and 58, who will receive a monthly basic income of €560 for two years. The participants were selected in December 2016 by random sample. |
