Evidence?
I don't have evidence. It is my opinion. I don't know how welfare is handled in specific regions, but my opinion is if it is just a check then it isn't efficient. People become complacent and indulgent. I've been on extended unemployment a few times and I have friends who have as well, I know how people can get on purely financial support.
