GiveDirectly: Universal Basic Income Pilot

Universal basic income (UBI) is a hot topic at present, with energised debates around the desirability, effectiveness and feasibility of providing everyone in society a guaranteed basic income. This debate is currently taking place in an evidence vacuum, however, as UBI has never been tried in its fullest form. GiveDirectly is planning the world’s most comprehensive pilot: the first which is genuinely universal (provided to everyone in a community), basic (sized to meet subsistence-level needs), and income (paid consistently over the long term).
