I heard that you get more welfare money by popping out more kids. This of course incentivizes women to produce lots and lots of otherwise unwanted offspring. Also, welfare payments typically stop when you find a job, thus dis-incentivizing people to find work.
As I understand it UBI is just a single flat rate for each adult no matter how many children they have or whether they are employed, which would close those loopholes.
