The $7,500 universal basic income experiment
A Canadian NGO, pairing up with the University of British Columbia, carried out a bold social experiment: it handed C$7,500 (US$5,900) with no strings attached to a number of recently homeless people, then monitored them for several months. The experiment's preliminary results show that recipients had a higher financial stability than those in the control group. Some had found long-term housing, freeing up space in shelters.
