I'm a simple emigrant and I want to receive 1200 euros every month just like that
Sounds good, doesn’t it? For that, you only need to make it into the number of 120 lucky people who will receive this amount monthly for three years. The conditions are: be over 18 and provide a detailed report on how this money affected life. Neither gender, nor social status, nor education matters; moreover, you won’t even have to pay taxes on this amount. This idea came from German researchers, as they want to check whether basic unconditional payments from the state will affect people’s lives, and if so, how. Thanks to the sample being as broad as possible (not only those in need, but everyone), it will be possible to understand whether these funds help people spend more time with family or spend their resources on social work and charity, or perhaps people will simply spend more time on the couch in front of the TV. In some cases during the experiment, a hair sample is planned to be taken to analyze the stress hormone level and its changes. Besides the unprecedented freebies, the uniqueness of the experiment also lies in the fact that the money for it is not provided by the state, but by investors through crowdfunding. Thus, in collaboration with the German Institute for Economic Research, the University of Cologne, and the Max Planck Society, scientists will be able to study how a grant of 43 thousand euros will affect life in society, specifically in a developed country; this is an important detail. I have already submitted an application, spending only a couple of minutes. If there are readers among you who live in Germany - join: https://www.pilotprojekt-grundeinkommen.de/ #useful
