E All of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

A concern with UBI is that it would encourage workers to stop working. UBI would allow care-workers to support themselves, encouraging care work within the home and relieving pressure on public services that provide care to the sick and elderly. There exist countless governmental organisations/schemes responsible for helping those in poverty, unemployment benefits, food stamps, subsidised housing, etc.
