11.5% is the total. My question was how many of them actually receive any benefits? Or, even better, how much of the budget is spent on benefits for those that don't work?
- wtcactus 1y agoNo, the total is 49.50%. 49.50% of the Population in Portugal doesn't work and needs to be supported by those who work. And there are 6 millions capable of working between the ages of 20-65. Of those, only 5 millions work. So, you need to calculate the budget spent on those half of the population that doesn't work - in some cases because they are too young or too old, and then ask: why is close to a million of those that can actually work, living off the state anyway, instead of working for them, and for the other person they should be supporting. Maybe they built their own AI robot I guess, and now they don't need to do anything... Surely a case for UBI.
