Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses six initiatives: Loek Groot and Timo Verlaat find that among the roots of diverse Dutch experiments are behavioural insights and the Basic Income debate. Gunmin Yi discusses youth dividends 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. Annie Miller outlines the history of the Scottish Basic Income Feasibility Study and assesses its conclusions with respect to Scotland’s lack of legal powers and the difficulty in implementing a pilot project compared with a national scheme. She suggests that Scotland should wait to be fully fiscally devolved and should then start by implementing a small nationwide Basic Income. Finally, Enno Schmidt reports on the world’s first national referendum on Basic Income, the Swiss Initiative for an Unconditional Basic Income.
