Living Free
Gavin Fischer investigates the most generous trial yet of a basic income - almost Β£20,000 a year to all 18 year olds leaving the child care system in Wales. How well is it working?
Almost Β£20,000 a year in free money, no strings attached. That's been the offer to all 18 year olds leaving the child care system in Wales, as part of the most generous trial of a basic income ever tried. The Welsh Government hope it will turn round the lives of those impacted by their time in care and save money in the long term, while opponents have a called it a βfailed socialist experimentβ.
We hear the stories of care leavers to find out what impact it has had on them.
