Its the result of a large part of the population being -defacto- disconnected from any economic activity. Yes they receive unemployment benefits /social welfare. Often for generations - but this just is not enough. The mind knows you do not contribute to your community, even though your pot is full of food. Autarky rebellions like brexxit address this dependence on society needing a member. I find this psychological need not really catered for in UBI concepts.
