- chinesempire 7y ago> We have to accept that some people will accept free subsistence income and not work. It is already like this in many countries. In Italy it has always been like that at least since the end of WW2. It has produced one of the largest youth unemployment rate in the west. Unemployed parents that never worked, grew up disadvantaged kids with no other alternative than become NEETs In my opinion balancing it out without creating first as many jobs as possible is a really hard task, doomed to fail given the current state of the world politics
