AbstractIn this paper, I examine the relationship between a basic income as a policy tool and the functioning of the labour market. I focus on three key areas where a basic income has been hypothesized to relate to labour markets: (i) through altering work decisions, (ii) as a response to predicted changes in work arising from technological change and (iii) as backstop that would allow workers to demand better working conditions and higher wages. I provide answers on the role or impact of a basic income in each area in the context of the current Canadian labour market. But a key focus in the paper is on the ways we could alter our labour market models to provide a better basis for debating the impacts of policies like a basic income in the context of a goal of moving toward a more just society.

Dans « The Town with No Poverty: The Health Effects of a Canadian Guaranteed Annual Income Field Experiment » (publié dans Canadian Public Policy/Analyse de politiques en 2011), la professeure Evelyn Forget analyse les effets sur la santé communautaire et l'éducation de l'expérience MINCOME, réalisée au Manitoba dans les années 1970, qui portait sur le revenu annuel minimum garanti. Réévaluant les données sur les visites à l'hôpital utilisées dans Forget (2011), je soutiens que les données relatives de la communauté traitée de Dauphin présentent, avant l'intervention, des tendances négatives statistiquement significatives par rapport aux communautés de contrôle. La tendance préexistante, combinée à des périodes de préanalyse et de traitement courtes, remet sérieusement en question l'utilité de ces données qui, dans la mesure où elles sont réellement utilisables, montreraient plutôt les effets positifs de l'expérience MINCOME sur les visites à l'hôpital dans un contexte normalisé. J'en conclus que les données de la MINCOME ne soutiennent pas l'affirmation qu'un revenu annuel minimum garanti réduit le cout des soins de santé.
