I think the people sitting around the house will probably notice that they're not happy, and seek out other things to do. I think the main reason people on welfare don't currently do much is that they can't afford the alternatives. There are also class cultural differences that can make it difficult for them, but I think there are ways to address this.
More generally, I think in the absence of material problems, we will have many more resources freed up to address the problem of purposelessness. I do think it's easy to succumb to depression-inducing laziness in the absence of necessity to work (I have experienced this myself), but I think this is a psychological problem that should be addressed directly.

And then those children age in a world where they never have to stop being children.
