Wasn't it easy to predict?


Source for this claim?


https://www.kela.fi/perustulokokeilu Unfortunately it is in Finnish. Kela is the organization that operates the Finnish welfare system. First title translated: "Initial results: well-being improved, no positive effect on employment on the first year" They haven't published the full report yet, should be out in the spring of 2019.


Reuters are reporting it. Not sure if the research is available online yet.
