Finnish Basic Income experiment failed to produce short-term employment effects
- knz42 5y agoThe article says that BI doesn't affect employment % as if it is a bad thing. The fact that it did not decrease employment either is a wonderful thing, and should be celebrated. It means that Finland can use BI as a replacement for a number of other social services, and drive the cost of state support for unemployment significantly. This is excellent!
- janandonly 5y agoI love your take on this. Yes, receiving free money does not dissuade people from working. It only lowers stress: knowing that you now have a “f you” income means you can say “no more” to an abusive employer.
