Basic Income in the Finnish Context

Tiivistelmä

The basic income experiment is one of the key projects in the governmental programme of Prime Minister Juha Sipilä’s centre-right government. The experiment is being carried out in 2017-2018 and will be followed by an assessment of its results in 2019.
