It affects the income gap. People in the startup sector earn _much_ more than other sectors - the difference is, if I'm not wrong, one of the biggest in the EU. So it creates a) a lot of inequality and b) drives up prices of certain go

Because people are shortsighted and want a new TV/car/apartment RIGHT NOW. Also, there's a certain mistrust of the pension scheme and people think that the money in their pension accounts will be gone anyway by the time they
