The problem of countries governed by an old capitalist system all depends on olden and backward kind of capitalism.
On one hand, in such societies money is everything and some people have to sell everything for the sake of money. On the other hand these countries are in the hands of capital and capitalists who try continuously to suppress wages in order to milk more and more profits for themselves. At the same time as, the natural and instinctive tendency of the sort of employer trained in an old and bacward capitalism school is to keep the labor force hungry in order to unemployeds accept work in any inhuman conditions and to strengthen the maneuvering power of the capital. On behalf of such a goal, such a capitalists even forget that their merchandise need the consumer market, and by weakening the purchasing power of a large part of their own society, they themselves will be harmed along with the society as a whole.
Ruined image of the work
In such a case, the work becomes a burdensome hassle, which does not give the desired result in terms of wages, and becomes mandatory in order to meet basic needs that are never met in such countries. In other words, a hard work that does not bear much fruit. In such a situation, the feeling of twiting the society for a favor because of a fruitless toil, becomes a natural reaction. While some kill for a tiny amount of money, the idea that in some countries tax money provides the unemployed some kind of continused compensation becomes irrational, unrealistic and perhaps even unjust.
Everything at own place
In the Nordic countries, because the unions have a lot of influence in the labor market, wages are fairer and more reasonable, so any kind of work is simply economical there. One who works sees the result of her/his toil directly and does not need twiting anynoe else for a favor because of her/his own fruitless toil. Anyone who is unable to work must agree to a lower standard of living and have so-called tighter hands and wings. While someone who works earns at least twice as much as anyone who only receives a governmental support. That is why the majority do not want to give in to a minimum standard, and it is very logical and natural for them to like their economic hands and wings move more freely.
To completely be out of job is just tiresome
Secondly, unemployment, along with economic constraints, soon becomes boring. One is psychologically depressed, unwell, and suffering. While, when she/he is active and touches the result of her/his labor and feels the smoothness of her/his economic situation, she/he is automatically warm, encouraged and her/his mental state is remarkably different from the time of unemployment.
Those who nevertheless prefer to remain unemployed and enjoy a minimum of well-being certainly suffer from mental disorders such as depression and mental imbalance, which, as a patient, they are not expected to care about such a things. They need to be treated first and foremost for their mental health problems in order to return to normal condition.
Of course, abuse can happen everywhere, but such people are a small minority whose actions should not be seen as the behaviour of a large majority. It is the system that needs to be more secure and upgraded. The important thing is that ”everyone should be supplied”, not ”the flaw in the personality of some few” which also has its own solution. Punishment of an innocent majority and lack of the security of them due to the actions of a small number is entirely injustice. A mistake that leads to more corruption in the society due to lack of economic security of the people. Abuse must be stopped by its own logical and legal way.
When everything is at own place
A general criterion says that if there is work and it pays off to work, everyone wants to work because experience has shown that with work, both one's mental state and one's economic situation will be better. However, when there is no work, the citizen should not end up sleeping in the sidewalk. In a society, everyone is related to each other. If there are conditions for poverty, it will be a nightmare that can happen to anyone. While the abnormal inequality will increase corruption, destruction, crime and insecurity in the same society.
On the other hand, it cannot be said that I work, so everyone else should work too. Unemployment is a natural phenomenon in the society simply because work at the same time may not exist for everyone. In addition, with the advancement of technology and the robotization of jobs, unemployment is more likely to increase. As said before the destiny of the unemployed people should not end up sleeping in the sidewalk and inequality should not be abnormal.
When the work is a privilege
It is necessary to clarify the fact that working in countries like Nordic countries is a privilege and not a cursed torment because the co-workers have healthier mental conditions, as well as the state of working environments are favorable and above all the wages are encouraging. So everyone wants to work. Work like in Iran or other countries with an old capitalist system is not a torment that one is forced to do. Working conditions should be attractive, not tough.
Basically, public welfare conditions together with the benefits included in labor law need to be regulated in such a way that work is a privilege which will significantly improve the quality and economy of the employees' lives, not a vital necessity to provide their basic livelihood and basic housing which might be abused by capital and capitalists. This will, to a large extent, reduce fraud and undeclared work and a number of injustices in working life, including inhuman exploitation.
In this case, even if someone who is not working but is satisfied with a minimum standard of living while does not pursue criminality, makes a commendable effort, because of the satisfaction with a lesser income, and managing the mental balance and life well. Definitely such a character looks after some job too because of the attractiveness of the working.
The structural challenge
Again, if the unemployed person is not in a favorable psychological and financial condition, and at the same time there are no rules or regulations during which this person gets encouraged to improve her/his mental state by trying to improve her/his condition, it is the system that has a problem, and this should not affect other unemployed people who are already deprived of the gift of working.
Let us not forget that those who work and pay taxes do so for the sake of a better standard of own living and their own better mental balance and of course with the encouragement of an attractive wage and some attractive working conditions. Then so much better to do so in a secure and prosperous society with a high standard of living and human circumstances for everyone. In fact, they have already achieved the desired result with the "privilege" of a job in such a society.
So there is no room for meanness folklore. By paying taxes, they have essentially acquired a governmental insurance premium backed by government resources, so that the person in hard days like illness or unemployment can be supplied, as well as the poverty in the society can be eliminated, inequalities rationalized and as a result corruption and crimes reduced and therefore going to have more security and better healthcare, better public transportation, etc. Only such a society is capable to afford such an inevitable phenomenon like the existence of the aristocracy.
