Universal Basic Income would also help with this problem.

If you're interested in UBI, you may also be interested in UBS, universal basic services. UBI is potentially weak to things like increases in the cost of living and inflation, whereas UBS at least ensures that we must always face a semantic justification of what counts as meeting a service requirement, such as housing, food, etc. They are not mutually exclusive, either.
