There’s a lot of unanswered questions. To bad the results weren’t released.
It’s interesting that the OECD feels “Basic Income” would increase Finland’s poverty rate while their proposal for a “Univeral Credit” (a consolidated benefits system) would lower it. But, it gives no clear reason why.

- mgleason_3 8y agoPossibly the Basic Income is seen as a disincentive to work because you only receive it if you’re unemployed (or earn less than a minimum income level). But you loose it once you’re employed (or earn more the minimum income level)
