In Belgium, we are in a very nasty situation with employment foo decades. The government pays unemployment benefits and the longer you stay unemployed, the more companies hiring you get benefits. That means that if you get unemployed, employers will refuse you has they can have a much better deal for cheaper (someone with same skills, but for whom the state pays half the check). Those benefits are called WIN-WIN, PFI, Activa etc. I got a job by playing the system and following a training that was useless for me, but which guaranteed a job... Quite sad! Now that I have experience, it play in my favor, but I am soon maxing it out and going out of that sweet spot. I'll be to expensive and if I lose my job, I'll have to follow the same cycle and accept a lower wage because the state actually pushes for lower wages overall.
