If we get to a point where people can rely on being able to survive decently independent of gainful employment - no strings attached and no blaming involved - we will quickly begin to see positive changes in society. I'm quite sure about that. Right now I know plenty of people, myself included, who would do a lot more in terms of voluntary or low paying work in critically important sectors (refugee support, caring for the elderly and so on) if they could realistically afford to do so.
