The real problem is cost of living without a job. It is just too fking expensive to live with little or no income. As a result, people in less than abundant job markets are forced into taking up jobs to merely survive. If someone is trying to imagine an alternative world, they should visit non-tier 1 cities of SE Asia or India or China. People routinely survive with less than full time income. Sure, it's a life with less material pleasure but it is a surprisingly adequate survival life.
