I Danmark får en enlig forælder med to børn med afstand de højeste overførselsindkomster sammenlignet med de andre EU-lande. Det viser en ny undersøgelse (se her på side 6). Tallene er fra 2013.
If welfare benefits become too generous, they can create a significant incentive that encourages recipients to remain “on the dole” rather than to seek employment.
Benefits in European Union (EU) countries vary widely, but in many of them, benefits are high relative to what an individual could expect to earn from a low-wage or entry-level job.
For example, for a single parent with two children in 2013 — Welfare benefits in nine EU countries exceeded €15,000 ($18,200) per year. In six countries, benefits exceeded €20,000 ($24,300). Denmark offers the most generous benefit package, valued at €31,709 ($38,558).
