[QUOTE="PostHarvest, post: 7790597, member: 1570"] I believe that one measure that the government could take would be to reform the social security system - despite the flak that would generate from unions and others. In many cases, the system as it has stood for many years actually prevents people from taking work, especially part-time work, as anything they earn is countered against state benefits. 30 years ago I worked with someone who left a decent job as a skilled metal machinist as he was financially better off staying at home living on child benefits. Only recently I spoke to someone who works a few hours each week and would like to do more but doesn't for the same reason. So its been a long term problem. [/QUOTE]
