Universal basic income: Plans drawn up for £1,600 a month trial in England
By Michael Sheils McNameeBBC News
A group of 30 people could be paid £1,600 a month without any obligation as part of The First trial of a universal basic income in England.
Researchers from Think Tank Autonomy are seeking financial backing for a two-year pilot programme to see how it would change the lives of 30 people.
Supporters say schemes can simplify the welfare system and tackle poverty.
Participants will be drawn from central Jarrow, in north-east England, and East Finchley , in North London .
The concept of a universal basic income sees government pays all individuals a set salary regardless of their means.
Critics of universal basic income say it would be extremely costly, would divert funding away from public services, and not necessarily help to alleviate poverty.
Autonomy, will " make the case for a national basic income and more comprehensive trials to fully understand the potential of a basic income in the UK".
" No One should ever be facing poverty, having to choose between heating and eating, in one of the wealthiest countries in The World , " said Cleo Goodman, co-founder of Basic Income Conversation, a programme run by the work-focused Think Tank .
Will Stronge, director of research at Autonomy, said: " All The Evidence shows that [a UBI] would directly alleviate poverty and boost millions of people's wellbeing: the potential benefits are just too large to ignore. "
Autonomy's trial is being supported by charity Big Local and Northumbria University .
Two years of community consultation has taken place in central Jarrow and East Finchley .
Anyone from the areas is able to put themselves forward to take part and can remain anonymous. While participants will be drawn randomly, the organisers plan for it to be a representative group and to be made up of 20% of people with disabilities.
On top of the £1. 15m budget for the basic income payments over two years, there would be further costs for The Project 's evaluation activities, admin, and community support teams.
There have been previous calls for a universal basic income to be used to alleviate financial hardships experienced.
And Last Year , the Welsh Labour government announced a £20m experiment.
The Plan would give £1,600 a month before tax to 500 care leavers, a sum roughly In Line with The Living wage. The scheme is ongoing, and the Welsh Government said the results would be " thoroughly evaluated".
