title = "A Primer on the Finnish Basic Income Experiment: From Design and Implementation to Evaluation and Impact",
abstract = "In 2015, Juha Sipil{\"a}'s newly elected centre-right coalition government committed to launching a Basic Income experiment in its Government Programme. This propelled Finland onto the international scene and portrayed it as one of the leaders in Basic Income policy development. Yet the specifics of the Basic Income experiment---its design and implementation features---as well as the background to this decision, which is rooted in several decades of public and political debate surrounding the Basic Income proposal, remains little understood. Similarly, the experimental results and their impact on the Finnish social security debate remain unclear. In this primer we aim to shed light on the main features of the Finnish Basic Income experiment---its design, implementation, evaluation, and impact---and briefly reflect on the lessons to be learned for social security policy development in Finland and the wider Basic Income policy community.",
