UBI could help inject money in local areas, boosting and reinforcing the local economy. Other studies show that most people will continue to work despite having a UBI in order to pay for more necessities and luxuries.

Also, by implementing a Universal Basic Income now, the coming so-called "fourth industrial revolution", where automation may take away many jobs that can be automated, UBI could help the economy continue without disruption or the bankrupting of workers and families across the UK.
