Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses six initiatives: Groot and Verlaat find that among the roots of diverse Dutch experiments are behavioural insights and the Basic Income debate. Tahiraj describes Basic Income discourse in the Western Balkans, and the proposal for a Basic Income pilot project in Serbia. Yi discusses youth dividends, lottery projects, and other experiments in Korea, and the prospects for a more universal welfare system. Bollain finds that the diverse experiments in Barcelona are part of a municipal agenda that seeks to reduce poverty and inequalities. Miller reports on a feasibility study for Basic Income pilot projects in Scotland and on the Scottish Government’s involvement. Finally, Schmidt reports on the world’s first national referendum on Basic Income, the Swiss Initiative for an Unconditional Basic Income.
