>The unemployment benefit is 400+ euros per month. So tell me who in their right minds would go to work for 500 euros

Is there a limit to how long you can collect unemployment? In Finland if you still haven't found a job in about a year, you stop getting payments altogether. And while getting payments, you still have to prove that you're actually searching for a job and not just trying to scam taxpayers.

The above is incorrect. Basic unemployment benefits are paid for 400 days, but after that you can go on labor market subsidy indefinitely.

The subsidy is ~32€ per day, which is the same as the minimum basic unemployment benefit.

Similar system in the UK, you have to demonstrate you're applying for jobs. If you're offered something and you refuse to take it your cut off.

I think they may even force you in to unpaid/extremely low paid work if you cant get something yourself.
