> What UBI makes it harder is underemployment and labor exploitation - people won't work in terrible jobs unless they need to and UBI removes that need.
This is my argument for it as well. There should be universal programs available to help with social mobility, help for those that want to make a change in their lives, in any direction.
There is no need to tie someone down working full time just to pay for the basics, when they could be obtaining an education.
Career changes should be easier to do as well, for example someone who would want to go from IT to Construction or another trade. It might pay well eventually, but the ramp up can take a while and there may not be another breadwinner in the house. There should be assistance for those who want to do something new and contribute to society in the way that works best for them, without burdening their family.

Brazil has a conditional cash transfer program called Bolsa Família, and this is one of the things pointed out in a couple studies - that the family used the extra cash to look for better jobs and training instead of working every day just to feed themselves.
