More Europeans are about to get some free money in the name of economics research. 。

The European Union is funding a new universal basic income experiment in Barcelona alongside similar tests in Helsinki and the Dutch city of Ultrecht. 。

Around 1,000 low-income households in one of the city's poorest districts will be randomly selected to receive monthly payments of between €400 ($450) and €525 ($590) for two years. All told, the three programs will cost the EU €13 million ($14.7 million). 。

The study is the latest in a series of research efforts launched across the globe in recent months to put the policy to the test in a real-world setting. 。

Already this year, experiments have been announced or launched in Ontario, Oakland, and Uganda in addition to the European trials.。

A survey earlier this year found that seven in 10 Europeans would vote for a UBI policy if given the chance.。

Despite the supposed popular support, though, the people of Switzerland resoundingly voted down a countrywide proposal in a referendum last year. 。


The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) -- an intergovernmental group of free-market democracies -- also concluded in a policy brief last month that a UBI implemented across European countries would require substantial tax hikes in order to match the poverty line. 。
