If you read the article, you will see it states that to be the eligible, one "must currently be enrolled in the General Relief Opportunities for Work, or GROW, program, which provides employment and training services for young adults".
It's not intended to be a lifelong income, so why would they test that with people?
- climb_stealth 4y agoRight, that is very much fair enough then. I was thinking of Universal Basic Income. For which trials are done on a similar timeframe if I'm not mistaken.
- IncRnd 4y agoYes. There also seems to be a disconnect from this article and the press release it links. While they both contain the words, "Universal Basic Income," this UBI seems time-bound and purpose driven like an old-fashioned grant that is spread over time.
