I don't think people stop working with UBI. What it does provide though, is a safety net to make sure you'll have food on the table but no more. Suddenly if you're hating your job, it's not that scary to tell your boss that their abuse is over. You can have some time to re-train, and be whatever you really wanted to be. There's also loads of activities that aren't counted as work that would suddenly become very developed such as volunteering. Yes, some people might suddenly realise that if they live on the cheap they might play video games all day, but I don't think it will be most people. It also depends how it's rolled-out, if its start at 50 EUR a month, then increases each year for the next 15 years, the economy will have the time to adapt, the citizens will have the time to adapt etc. It also present an interesting effect. Low paid jobs that aren't well valued such as cashier or delivery person will become less attractive and will have to be paid decently to be worth it. Contracts with a lower amount of hours would also become more common |
