Map of UBI Experiments
This page is a structured starting point for tracking Universal Basic Income pilots, cash transfer experiments, and related policy trials around the world. It is designed to help readers explore where programs have been tested, what questions they aimed to answer, and how different models compare across regions.
Because UBI-related programs vary widely in design, scale, duration, and terminology, this page should be reviewed carefully before being treated as a definitive factual resource. Some examples may involve full UBI pilots, while others may be partial pilots, guaranteed income programs, or closely related cash transfer experiments.
