Is a Guaranteed Annual Income Feasible and Sustainable in Canada?
EF 2010-11
Résumé
Our previous CIHR-funded research showed that participants in a Canadian Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI) social experiment (relative to matched controls) had fewer hospitalizations (especially for mental health and accidents and injuries), better high school completion rates, lower lifetime fertility and first births at a later age. This project will model the health consequences of these findings over the lifecourse, quantify the health system savings associated with reduced hospitalization, and determine the net social cost of a universal roll-out of a guaranteed income in Canada. Is a GAI feasible and sustainable in Canada? Are the health benefits for the population worth the cost?

Abstract
Our previous CIHR-funded research showed that participants in a Canadian Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI) social experiment (relative to matched controls) had fewer hospitalizations (especially for mental health and accidents and injuries), better high school completion rates, lower lifetime fertility and first births at a later age. This project will model the health consequences of these findings over the lifecourse, quantify the health system savings associated with reduced hospitalization, and determine the net social cost of a universal roll-out of a guaranteed income in Canada. Is a GAI feasible and sustainable in Canada? Are the health benefits for the population worth the cost?
