In Belgium we have an excellent welfare program. For many people it brings in enough money so low wage jobs are not interesting enough. For 100 or 200 euro more they are not going to work.

In some countries you see people starting very small businesses just to survive. Buying and selling goods or delivering services such as gardening, cleaning or maintenance.

Maybe they should give a bigger incentive so people can start these small businesses instead of receiving welfare.

Off course I'm not speaking in IT startups in particular.
