(American here. Not defending the concept. Just stating facts.)
In developing countries, paying to have access to a job is common[0]. Highly sought after jobs for their social reputation (like airline attendent) often require applicants to pay a fee for the opportunity.
You also see this in roles that accept bribes. When police collect cash bribes, their bosses need to see some of that money. One way they do is by requiring people to pay upfront a fee to get access to the role of bribe accepter.

- satellite2 5y agoIt's true, and that's exactly why it's a catastrophic idea and should be property identified as a form of corruption. In those countries (and you have some form of those issues creeping in western countries if you look attentively) you have an elite, a cast forming around some aspect of public management as the only way to get those kind of job is to get enough money to get it and the only way to get enough money is to be part of the cast. As such after only one generation those positions are filled by people that are 1) not the best and 2) often incompetent.
