Preliminary results of the basic income experiment: self-perceived wellbeing improved, during the first year no effects on employment
The basic income experiment did not increase the employment level of the participants in the first year of the experiment. However, at the end of the experiment the recipients of a basic income perceived their wellbeing as being better than did those in the control group. The results are to some extent preliminary, and it is not yet possible to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of the basic income experiment.
Circular economy experiments aim to change prevailing operating methods
Would it be possible to make paper-like material from textile waste? How could empty spaces in cities be enlivened? How can you save money on children’s sports clothing? A total of 24 experiments selected for implementation in the Experimental Finland project of the Prime Minister's Office will start to find solutions to these and other challenges. The call for applications implemented through kokeilunpaikka.fi, a digital platform open to everyone, ended on 22 January 2019. The selected experiments can now be launched. The experiments are related to construction, plastics and textiles.
