Here's more info about the program https://www.givedirectly.org/basic-income https://www.givedirectly.org/basic-income
We will assess the impact of a basic income against a broad set of metrics, including:
- economic status (income, assets, standard of living)
- time use (work, education, leisure, community involvement)
- risk-taking (migrating, starting businesses)
- gender relations (especially female empowerment)
- aspirations and outlook on life
