Her fourth book on basic income, which came out in 2022, is called Radical Trust: Basic Income for Complicated Lives.

We're ushering in the new year with some of the newest appointees to the Order of Canada — Canadians who've dedicated their lives to the pursuit of extraordinary things.

It used to be that Statistics Canada didn't measure poverty. Not exactly. Poverty is complex, and there wasn't a single definition that everyone agreed on. So while StatCan did measure low income and other income inequality indicators, it didn't measure poverty per se. That is, until 2018, when the government chose to use the Market Basket Measure, or MBM, as Canada's Official Poverty Line. That means that the government now uses the MBM to track its poverty reduction targets.   But something strange happened during the pandemic: in 2020 the poverty rate fell. And it fell quite a bit. In fact, the poverty rate dropped in one year almost as much as it had in the four preceding years. But why? What happened? Will the poverty rate continue to fall? And what happens if it hits zero? How would health outcomes change? Education outcomes? People's general happiness and well-being?  Has there ever been a time and place in Canada where the poverty rate was zero? The closest may be the Mincome Experiment of the 1970s in Manitoba.   Many Canadians have never heard of this guaranteed income experiment, but it offers a glimpse at what eliminating poverty might look like.  To learn more, we spoke with Burton Gustajtis an economist from Statistics Canada, Evelyn Forget, a Professor of Economics and Community Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba and Kevin Milligan, a Professor of Economics in the Vancouver School of Economics at the University of British Columbia.

Mincome refers to the Manitoba annual basic income experiment, which took place in the 1970s. In these times of COVID-19, with mental health and economic problems rising in tandem, and with the introduction of stimulus checks, the idea of universal basic income is making more "cents" than ever. What if you received a minimum basic income, regardless of whether you worked or not? How would that affect healthcare? Would people stop working? Or is universal basic income the key to better public health? In this episode, Case Confirmed interviews health economist Dr. Evelyn Forget to shed light on these questions and more!

Canada's basic income trials in trials in the 70s – the “Mincome” experiments – were largely forgotten until Dr. Evelyn Forget found records of the Mincome trials and individuals who had received a basic income.

Imagine the world if we all had the security of a basic income guarantee... How would our priorities change? Would we take more risks and get more creative or simply be complacent? How would it work? Together with economist Evelyn Forget from Canada, who has been on the forefront of many basic income experiments, I am looking into what it would mean for citizens to have what is called a basic income. This topic has become increasingly discussed in different parts of the world and who knows, maybe we are getting closer to an implementation than we think... The opinions seem to differ but Evelyn offers and interesting point of view - is a basic income policy an unavoidable step to secure our well-being in the future? You can read more about Evelyn's research in her book Basic Income for Canadians. This episode was made possible by Hyber.
