People interested in this UBI should look at the Canada Child Benefit (CCB).
It has been described in many ways, but it is essentially a basic income for children (or the parents of children).
It is means tested, which allows for the program to be really generous to low income single parents with young children.
The effect has been a dramatic reduction in poverty -- especially child poverty-- in a couple of years. This is an example of a modest government intervention that will have massive positive impacts in the lives of these families.
