IMHO, there should be a different approach supporting people who can't work due to a medical condition and people who simply don't want to work - for them the benefits should be a percentage of the minimal wages, as it is in many other countries, and should be limited in time - a year, for example, is more than enough for anybody to find another job.
Fair point, but I know some with 100`s of job applications and no work, so a blanket answer is not fair.
It is interesting, how many adults (say age 30 or more), who work, have to pay rent. My experience is limited, of course, but most of the people I know (friends, acquaintances, colleagues, neighbours) in that age group pay mortgage rather than rent. Well, when I got a mortgage, I also bought a life insurance, just enough to pay the mortgage if I am incapacitated.
As does anyone with a mortgage
In the worst case scenario, if somebody can't afford to pay rent in a certain area but don't want to move away from their families, I suppose the families could support their loved ones, if they are so attached to each other. Again, this is what people do in many other countries, where the benefits are not so generous.
So where are all these people going to move to? Will not the rental prices go up there? Forcing all to move again? Totally unworkable.
