Those kinds of benefits is what allows Europe to attract talent from across the world. I have lost count of the number of times I’ve heard people who have moved here (northern Europe) say that they couldn’t dream of having kids anywhere else. It’s not like Europe is ever going to compete with USA or China when it comes to throwing a ridiculous amount of money at you as long as you work 24/7, 365 days a year. Or would you prefer that Europe entered this game and pushed work conditions to even tougher standards? .. no, so it’s better that Europe tries to compete on other qualities. We might not get the same kind of talent as USA, maybe not the most extremely driven ones, but I still see plenty of very talented people coming here every year. Europe still has many world class industries doing just fine. Most notably these days is Airbus, which seems to have benefited from a lack of relaxed regulations and hard work culture.
