Tiivistelmä:

The aim of this working paper is to summarise the preliminary report on the universal basic income (BI) experiment planned in Finland. The purpose of the preliminary report (delivered 30th March 2016 to the Government) was to propose and analyse models and designs for the Finnish BI experiment for the years 2017 and 2018. The working group began its work by specifying the concept and content of BI, then collected information on BI in other countries, on debates surrounding BI and on the popular support for BI in Finland, and evaluated different models by utilising microsimulations.
