“…The 2015 Participation Act further tightened welfare legislation but also gave municipalities the opportunity to experiment with social policy innovation for up to two years. Dissatisfied with the new regulations, municipalities quickly capitalized on this experimentation clause, asking their respective local universities to deliver an evidence-based assessment of potential alternatives (see Bollain et al, 2019; Groot et al, 2019 for further details).…”

“…Theoretically, Weten wat werkt is strongly rooted in behavioral economics and the idea of ‘nudging’ welfare recipients into beneficial behavior (Bollain et al, 2019: 411–413). Against standard economic theory, the research proposal argues that people have limited mental capacity, are easily influenced by how decisions are framed, may lose intrinsic motivation when faced with external pressure, and tend to reward friendly behavior (Weten wat werkt, 2018: 3).…”

The revolution will not be randomized: Universal basic income, randomized controlled trials, and ‘evidence-based’ social policy

Organizations in various countries have launched large-scale randomized field experiments to evaluate the empirical effects of basic income. Surprisingly, scholars have paid only scarce attention to the way basic income experiments are actually run. To address this shortcoming, I present three case studies of basic income experiments in the Netherlands, Spain, and the United States. I ask: Why do experiments’ designs only remotely resemble the ‘paradigmatic’ model of basic income they are in fact interested in – universal, unconditional, individual payments, no means tests, and no work requirements? Interviewed researchers identify three types of constraints that prevent basic income experiments from successfully testing basic income – politics, money, and the law – which I explain through the mechanism of ‘boundary work’ between science and politics. I conclude by cautioning against overstated expectations about the policy impact of both current and future basic income experiments.

“…Second, there were approximately 175,000 young adults who reached the age of 24 in 2019, and the required budget is KRW 175.3 billion (USD 147 million). Thus, this policy has the largest known payment size after the Alaska case [68]. Third, with the introduction of youth basic income, a local currency (issuance of complementary currency) was fully implemented.…”

This paper discusses the restructuring of the social protection system in the changing labor market by comparing and critically reviewing policy ideas of Universal Basic Income (UBI), Universal Basic Voucher (UBV), and Universal Basic Service (UBS) with a focus on how the Social and Ecological Transition (SET) can be achieved. UBS is a concept often paired with UBI, and UBV is considered a middle way between UBI (cash) and UBS (in-kind). This study first analyzes Korea’s basic income, basic service, and basic voucher cases, according to Bohnenberger’s nine types of social benefits through Standing’s policy evaluation principles. Additionally, we evaluated how each of the benefits included in basic income, basic service, and basic voucher can contribute to social and ecological sustainability in the Korean context. Through this evaluation, to pursue SET in the future, what kind of policy efforts should be accompanied with basic income through a Korean case analysis was discussed. The paper focuses on Korea in particular, as all three policies have been initiated here.
