Analysis of data from the Canadian Mincome experiment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mincome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mincome) by Evelyn Forget showed more concrete benefits. People's health improved: "Forget found that in the period that Mincome was administered, hospital visits dropped 8.5 percent, with fewer incidents of work-related injuries, and fewer emergency room visits from accidents and injuries. Forget also compared proportions of women with children and suggested lower lifetime fertility as a possible outcome by comparing birth rates of young mothers with those of a control group. Additionally, the period saw a reduction in rates of psychiatric hospitalization, and in the number of mental illness-related consultations with health professionals."
