Abstract This article explores the experiences of employed and unemployed Ontario Basic Income recipients in the Hamilton and Brantford pilot site. Integrating data from surveys and interviews, the self-reported outcomes of both groups are summarized. These outcomes pertain to employment, physical health, mental health, use of health services, food security, housing stability, financial well-being and social activities. The article highlights the difference in the degree of improvements between recipients who were working before and during the pilot versus those who were not employed at both times. Its broad conclusion is that both groups reported significant benefits, but it was recipients who were continuously employed that reported the greatest improvements. This suggests that basic income could be an important policy tool to improve the lives of low-income and precarious workers in Ontario and perhaps elsewhere.

不仅仅是福利：安大略省就业和失业基本收入领取者的经历

摘要 本文探讨了在汉密尔顿和布兰特福德试点地区就业和失业的安大略省基本收入领取者的经历。综合调查和访谈的数据，总结了两组的自我报告结果。这些结果涉及就业、身体健康、心理健康、卫生服务的使用、粮食安全、住房稳定性、财务状况和社会活动。这篇文章强调了在试点之前和期间工作的受助人与两次都没有工作的受助人之间的改进程度的差异。其广泛的结论是，两组都报告了显着的好处，但持续受雇的受助人报告了最大的改进。
