At the moment a record number of people are now on state benefits as a result of the corona virus outbreak. Theoretically this is temporary and alot of those temporary unemployed will return to the workforce. However there is growing evidence that this will not be the case, alot of people will choose not to return to work especially in low paid manual sectors.
There were alot of people that were quite happy to stay on welfare even before this outbreak, I think that this number will be alot larger afterwards even as economy recovers. My question is Who is going to pay for all this?
