There are even reasonable arguments that UBI will benefit the labor market in some ways, but increasing employment isn’t one of them as far as I know.
the ultra progressives will argue that poor people can't look for jobs or get better skills because you need money to do those things
I’ll even grant that there may be a non-zero group that applies to. It’s not close to how many people are on the fence about quitting their current job.
I haven't seen too many studies of UBI, but the ones I have seen usually had a pretty limited sample population (usually very low income to begin with), and the subsidy amount was pretty low. I'm not really sure what conclusions we can draw in total. I wonder if it would help more people choose to have kids and start families.
That being said, nothing helps if we don't loosen the regulatory constraints causing inelastic supply in education, healthcare, and housing.
These so called studies and experiments depend on the absence of common sense
self-employment maybe
It probably would, just not as much as it decreases other employment
Who expected it to boost employment?
The most obvious prediction in the world is that UBI will decrease employment.
