You still have to factor in that very same safety net. You'll lose a guaranteed income, from the state, by choosing the entrepreneurial route vs. unemployment.

You still have to factor in that very same safety net. You'll lose a guaranteed income, from the state, by choosing the entrepreneurial route vs. unemployment. That's taking a pretty big risk for something that might never amount to anything. In other countries you're basically screwed, if you can't get a job. You have to then seriously consider doing something on your own accord. The same incentive is largely missing here in Scandinavia. Risk comes in many variations!
