Abstract

EU member states have adopted Minimum Income Schemes (MIS) to prevent destitution and ensure a minimum standard of living through means‐tested income support combined with Active Labor Market Policies (ALMPs). However, the effectiveness of MIS has been hindered by limited coverage, low take‐up rates, inadequate cash transfers, strict conditionalities, and the limited impact of ALMPs. Public opinion is polarized, leading to potential policy changes. Pilot projects have emerged as a strategy to address implementation barriers, facilitate evidence‐based policy making, and improve stakeholder relationships. This paper investigates the political conditions under which pilots are promoted and the effects these policy decisions have on scaling up through a qualitative analysis and comparison, using two exemplary cases—B‐MINCOME in Barcelona and Weten Wat Werkt in Utrecht.

试点政治。欧洲城市最低收入计划案例

欧盟成员国已采用最低收入计划（MIS），通过经济情况调查收入支持与积极劳动力市场政策（ALMPs）相结合，防止赤贫并确保最低生活标准。然而，由于覆盖面有限、参与率低、现金转移不足、条件限制严格以及积极劳动力市场政策的影响有限，最低收入计划的有效性受到了阻碍。公众舆论两极分化，导致政策可能发生变化。试点项目已成为解决实施障碍、促进循证决策和改善利益相关者关系的一项战略。本文利用巴塞罗那的 B-MINCOME 和乌得勒支的 Weten Wat Werkt 这两个典范案例，通过定性分析和比较，研究了推动试点项目的政治条件以及这些政策决定对扩大规模的影响。
