Same in Spain. People are obviously working. Otherwise there would be riots in the streets already, haha.

Yep, I have many friends who are officially unemployed; all are working. Quite hard as well. The system in Spain does not encourage paying taxes, starting companies or hiring people legally. It is quite bad but I do not see it fixed soon.

Same in Italy. What a shame.

What does it encourage?
