YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn what may be a unique social experiment, three pilot basic income schemes were conducted in India between 2010 and 2013, in which over 6,000 men, women and children received universal, equal and completely unconditional monthly cash payments. Guy Standing reports on the main outcomes, looking at the effects on sanitation, nutrition, health, schooling, economic activity, women's status, specific vulnerable groups, and social attitudes more broadly.
The results are based on data generated by a multi-round evaluation and a modified randomized control trial methodology, in which those receiving the basic incomes were compared with others not receiving them. A second parameter for comparison was the presence or absence of a collective body, or "Voice organization", representing the interests of the vulnerable in the villages studied.
This was a joint UNRISD Seminar/UNOG LIbrary Talk that took place in Geneva on 5 December 2013. Click here to find out more about this and other UNRISD events: www.unrisd.org/events
