How universal basic income can improve employability
What you need to know:
In Kenya, a non-governmental organisation, GiveDirectly, started a UBI project in rural Kenya paying about Sh80 of $.075 daily for at least 12 years since 2017.
Transfers significantly improved well-being on common measures such as hunger, sickness and depression in spite of the pandemic, but with modest effect sizes.
I argue that a good social protection programme can lead to greater employment creation and ultimately facilitate economic growth.
