People kept working, became healthier while on basic income: report
This is very misleading reporting. First: All studies so far show a pretty consistent ~10% work disincentive. This is what all the detractors say when they say it disincentivizes work. So how about this one? From  actually reading the study's conclusion:<p>>  Slightly less than one-fifth were employed before but unemployed during the pilot (17%)<p>So even worse than what we've seen so far. 17% dropping out of the labor market when its a short-term study is huge.<p>For the ~10% figure, Chris Stucchio has a fairly succinct roundup of the work disincentive of other studies so far: <a href="https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2019/basic_income_reduces_employment.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2019/basic_income_reduces...</a><p>~~~<p>Personal opinion: If you consider multi-generational entrenchments of poverty as its own problem, worth serious merit, then the work disincentive could be a disaster. In UBI long run, the children of parents who have <i>never</i> worked are probably going to be at a large disadvantage. I think its already a problem <i>today</i> for children of SSI recipient parents (even compared to children of SSDI parents), but its not easy to prove.
