Yet another poorly researched article about this experiment.
This has been a very limited experiment for only 2000 randomly selected participants (unemployed with certain restrictions). It has beem time-limited from the beginning.
More critical observers have always said it is too small and too limited to produce useful data. Some claim it was designed to fail by the governmennt. But the international press has overhyped it with Finland giving away free money.
Now nothing has really changed and no decisions were taken. No reports have been published and this had not been intended before the end of the trial.
The so-called news is that the trial is not extended. But that's really a lack of news, an extension had never been planned.
