Magleen, a subsistence farmer, used the $1,000 she received to build a house. “Now I have a good home that’s not leaking. I am happy.” Finland and Canada are also experimenting with universal income provision. Alan Kreuger hopes that success in Kenya will transfer to western nations. “We’ll see how much we can extrapolate from the fields here in Kenya to other contexts.”
