>Relatively few It is a little while since my 'experiment' with benefits, but in the UK benefits are a real poverty trap. If you take a single days work you can lose a month of certain benefits. Housing benefit was the worst. The next cap was a 16 hour a week rule, that after 16 hours work you lost some of your 'working tax credit', which made you worse off unless you could jump straight to near 40 hours. Seeing the poverty trap for myself, I am a huge fan of UBI |
