Hundreds of young people in Wales will be given £1,600 a month pre-tax for two years as part of a new trial starting this Friday.
Up to 500 people who’ve just turned 18 and have been brought up in care will be eligible for the new Universal Basic Income (UBI) scheme.
The trial will see each person given £1,600 per calendar month (£1,280 after tax) with no restrictions on what the money can be spent on.
