I recently read a report on the Southern Ontario #UniversalBasicIncome pilot.
Here's a thread with stories from participants.

“I slept like a baby, I was smiling and happy for once. I didn’t look like I was about to cry because I’m broke.” labourstudies.mcmaster.ca/documents/sout…

A little thread about how #UBI would effect wages. Would they go up or down?

So far I've found two sources that indicate wages will rise with UBI.

Both from this UBI pro and con article.



1/15procon.org/headlines/univ… The 1st is from a trial of UBI in Uganda:

“Uganda’s UBI trial, the Youth Opportunities Program, enabled participants to invest in skills training as well as tools and materials, resulting in an increase of business assets by 57%, work hours by 17%, and earnings by 38%.”
