Yet it’s true, from my experience being unemployed but still being financially stable. Work provides a lot of purpose and fulfillment that isn’t so easily replaced, although definitely not impossible. A suitable replacement often looks like work, just perhaps not paid
What are you basing this on? People are very happy in retirement; some may long their former life but in my experience they're not the majority. And an important part of working age people in most countries are in effect not working and doing fine (and not even counted as "unemployed", as one has to be actively looking for work to be counted).
The view that work is needed to keep people from becoming alcoholics or outlaws is patronizing.
