I don't know in another countries, but where I live, social security pays you for unemployment 4 months per worked year. That means that with only 6 months worked you would only receive 2 months of unemployment pay, and if you don't have any children it is only 1000 euro/month (better than nothing...). On the other hand, if you have worked several years (6 or more), you can accumulate up to 2 years of unemployment pay, and if you then decide to become an enterpreneur, you can capitalize all of this and you can have up to 100% of this in cash for your business.
