Question:

Finland’s government, in 2017, began a two-year experiment of giving an additional $635 per month (beyond the recipients’ regular welfare assistance) to a group of 2,000 unemployed Finns. The government wanted to see if giving money to unemployed citizens would encourage them to get jobs. Preliminary results showed those receiving the money were neither more nor less likely to go to work. On the other hand, they reported a better sense of their own well-being than the study’s comparison group. Recipients felt happier and less stressed. Other jurisdictions, including a few in the United States, are experimenting with similar cash handouts. If it were affordable, do you think the United States should give money to its unemployed citizens? Explain.
