Europe is still a continent with a lot of different countries. There is not a social security system everywhere. But I don't look at social security systems as a good thing for starting a new business.
In Denmark you can start a company (at least for certain kinds of companies) and send in paperwork later. That part is pretty easy. But again, that's just one small country on a diverse continent.
- davidw 17y ago> I don't look at social security systems as a good thing for starting a new business. It isn't. It is a good thing when the business fails! At least according to the author. Personal opinions may differ about whether or not it is, and how to best go about providing said safety network, but that is economics/politics, and there be flamewars.

- silvestrov 17y agoIn Denmark it is very easy to start a company, but paying employees are a lot of paperwork, which most companies has to outsource due to the complexity. So everybody who does free lancing for +$2500/year creates their own single-person company because it is much simpler for his customers to pay him as B2B rather than paying him as an time-limited employee. Denmark has +300.000 companies. Population 5.500.000 That is more than 1 company per 10 persons in the active workforce!
