Plans for a universal basic income trial have just been published in the U.K. by think tank Autonomy. But it could soon be a reality for some in the U.K., where plans for a universal basic income trial have just been published. Thirty people in the U.K. could soon receive £1,600 ($1,983) each month if the trial by independent think tank Autonomy secures funding. The basic income payments are estimated to cost £1.15 million through the duration of the two-year project. Local citizens would be able to put themselves forward to take part in the trial and participant selection would be random.
