A systematic review of the existing empirical literature on UBI & labor supply found no evidence that it would discourage work.

The review surveyed 18 empirical cases and 38 studies. Instead, in some cases, especially in developing countries, cash transfers increased employment. A few decreases in working hours were found among the following demographics: children, the elderly, the sick, those with disabilities, and women with young children to look after.
