The part about people not leaving the workforce is based on a non-peer reviewed working paper arguing that the Alaska Permanent Fund, which pays ~$2000 per person, has not decreased employment: https://www.nber.org/papers/w24312.pdf https://www.nber.org/papers/w24312.pdf
I doubt any rational person would quit a job for $2000 a year. Or for a temporal UBI that may last a few years, leaving a gap in their career. I'm curious, does anyone know of any UBI test in which the amount was enough to live decently, and was assured for the lifetime of the recipients?
