Universal Basic Income (UBI) is not sustainable in high population nations that are not rich. For example, in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and many African countries. Population Control norms such as heavily disincentivising a family from having more than two children are the only long-term, minimal requirements for UBI to become an implementable idea in such nations.
I find it foolish when some people speak about implementing UBI in countries like India, without discussing population control.
Morever, short-term and medium-term increase in poverty due to the prolonged corona virus pandemic is a certainty. In this context too, population control measures, such as heavily disincentivising more than two children per family, is now more relevant in high-population nations that are not rich.
