Do these studies account for people who drop out of the workforce to pursue education or training? It seems like that would be one of the benefits: allowing someone who is under skilled and working a low skill job to quit and focus on acquiring the skills they need to get a higher paying job.

AFAIU That's what a number of the people were doing on the Ontario program. That and looking to start a business.

They were promised 3 years and planned around that before the program was suddenly pulled out from under their feet after they'd already made major life changes.
