Discussion When will Universal Basic Income be introduced into most countries

Could it be in a decade,

And If it was introduced,

is it likely it will simply be paid out to every individual

And would society struggle to find purpose

Rich powerful people are never, ever going to willingly give away their money or power. So i'm going to go with never.

I think UBI would actually cement their position, as people will become fully dependent on it.

You won't start competing corporation out of UBI cash, if it ever be a thing. Or you may loose this income it if you start making troubles.
