Launched December 2020.

CGIR is evaluating the Guaranteed Income for Caregivers program, a micro-pilot of guaranteed income initiated by the Los Angeles Section of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW | LA). Twelve randomly-selected, female-identifying care professionals are receiving $1,000 as unconditional cash-transfers each month for one year. As the program aims at expanding the social safety net for low-wage, working women in the care economy, we intend to explore the interplay between cash assistance, income inequality, gender dynamics, and care work.
