I like the idea of UBI but for now, it seems viable only for countries with high GDP per capita. In Brazil, suppose GDP reaches 10 Trillion BRL[1] with about 14.1 million unemployed people[2] and 1% of the GDP is "distributed" for the unemployed people (actually making this a non-universal UBI), that gives around 7000 BRL (about 1200 USD) per person per year. It may reach a survivable amount with a lower unemployment rate and higher GDP. I really can only see UBI working for countries above a threshold GDP per capita.
