UBI enables everyone to better participate in society

Lack of resources prevents people from participating fully in their society, especially if it is a capitalist society. Because income is unconditionally given, people can use their money with freedom and dignity without the hassles of spending documentation that conditional welfare programs require.^[1] UBI allows people to pursue more fulfilling lives because they have the freedom to pursue work they are passionate about without the need for immediate economic returns. They may be able to create art, return to school, take care of loved ones, or raise children. People can work without the fear and stress that come from economic instability. Results from preliminary studies to test the effectiveness of UBI suggest that people who received a guaranteed minimum income used the extra money to improve their lives, which helps society in the long run.^[2] For example, a study done in Canada showed that people pursued part-time work more flexibly and some pursued education.^[3] Another study taking place in Kenya found that regular unconditional income stimulated the economy of the recipients' village and neighboring villages.^[4] UBI can give all a chance to invest in themselves, participate in society, and thus improve their society.

[P1] Lack of resources hinders people from participating in society. [P2] When people have resources, they can better contribute to the community and surrounding economy. [P3] The government and higher taxes should distribute their money so all people can better contribute to society.
