Abstract

This review examines the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (SEED) project, a guaranteed income (GI) project that was undertaken in Stockton, California from 2019- 2021. SEED is a collaborative initiative by the Mayor's Office of Stockton, the Reinvent Stockton Foundation (RSF), and the Economic Security Project (ESF). The purpose of the SEED project was to ascertain the effects of guaranteed income on the well-being of the project recipients, with a focus on the effects of a UBI on participants' financial and psychological health. This review will study the potential benefits and challenges involved in implementing such a project, from political, social and economic perspectives. The review will also examine a UBI project's long- and short-term viability, and its impact on a city, and the project's beneficiaries. The review will aim to provide a balanced understanding of guaranteed income projects, and the means by which they affect recipients as well as other stakeholders, and the possibilities of implementing guaranteed income on a larger scale.

对SEED(斯托克顿经济赋权示范)项目的政策审查:细节是魔鬼吗?

本综述考察了斯托克顿经济赋权示范(SEED)项目，这是2019年至2021年在加利福尼亚州斯托克顿开展的一个保证收入(GI)项目。SEED是由斯托克顿市长办公室、重塑斯托克顿基金会(RSF)和经济安全项目(ESF)共同发起的一项合作倡议。SEED项目的目的是确定保障收入对项目接受者福祉的影响，重点关注全民基本收入对参与者财务和心理健康的影响。这项审查将从政治、社会和经济的角度研究执行这一项目所涉及的潜在利益和挑战。审查还将审查全民基本收入项目的长期和短期可行性，及其对城市和项目受益者的影响。审查的目的是平衡地了解保证收入项目及其对受助人和其他利益相关者的影响方式，以及在更大范围内实施保证收入的可能性。
