Ironically, I think one day it will be older people that want/need UBI more than younger people.

For most of human civilization, it was the older members of the community that would teach skills and trades to the younger generation. It was the natural order of things that older people had more earning potential due to their life experience and being the keepers of knowledge.

But in post-industrial era, it is looking more and more like technological advances quickly nullify experience and technical knowledge in many fields. Not only is re-education expensive, the human brain doesn't learn as efficiently as a young one. We are going to see a world one day where the workforce 20-40 years old have the highest earning potential while older people get pushed out of work due to things they know becoming obsolete.

We are already seeing it, but it seems like the timeline for technological advances is becoming more condensed. There is a huge shift coming, I am sure of it.
