The problem is caused by both benefits. The in work benefits set the
level for what work is worth it to take up, the unemployment benefits
make not taking up any work an option for many. Include what can be
earned by someone willing to cheat the system and many are much better
off being unemployed. I suspect there are many doing this, hence so many
people never having a job in their lifetime.

Sitting at home doing no worthwhile work, should never be an option for
anyone.


Why not? That's what robots are for.
