"Participants in Ontario's prematurely cancelled basic income pilot
project were happier, healthier and continued working even though they
were receiving money with no-strings attached.
That's according to a new report titled Southern Ontario's Basic Income
Experience, which was compiled by researchers at McMaster and Ryerson
University, in partnership with the Hamilton Roundtable for Poverty
Reduction.
The report shows nearly three-quarters of respondents who were working
when the pilot project began kept at it despite receiving basic income.
That finding appears to contradict the criticism some levelled at the
project, saying it would sap people's motivation to stay in the
workforce or seek employment."
