- londons_explore 6y agoI'd like to see research on the frequency of universal income payments, and the effects it has in the welfare of the recipient. For example, is it best to pay $10/day, $70/week, $300/month or $3600/year? For recipients who don't do financial planning and saving, $10/day might cause more spending on food etc., While $3600/year might lead to more 'investments' like buying a laptop or registering for a training course.
