Designing a minimum income scheme for a Budapest districtCommissioned by the Municipality of Zugló (a district of the city of Budapest), we prepared a proposal for redesigning the municipal system of means tested cash benefits. We sought to create a financially feasible system that does not entail a major overhaul of the existing one but achieves a major step towards a system that is just, well targeted, transparent and also encourages labour market integration. In 2017, in a second monitoring report we collected and analysed data on the first 2 years of the new system, and we assessed its impact on poverty and labour market participation in the district. In 2020, we prepared a third monitoring report and made recommendations for minor corrections. | |||||||||
