This whole study is a tragedy.
They made a study on a basic income, it cost huge amounts of money, and it was build to fail by declaring a stupid goal.
The other results look quite promising, but I tried looking into the data and unfortunately it's very weak. They made only questionaires and the return rates were very low, so it doesn't say much. They had really stupid mistakes in the report (confusing p-values and chi^2 values, wrong additions), all seems really sloppy.
In sum they made a study on a stupid goal, and the real results are not very meaningful due to poor methodological quality of the stury.
- Svoka 8y agowhy do you think it failed? IMO - it succeeded. In face of skeptics who told that people won't do anything, people on UBI still found jobs as often as those who didn't have it.
