unemployment benefits: a way to keep those in need afloat

during my summer vacations, while i was away on a trip to a developing nation, i could see the standard of living there and the poor people trying to survive on a meager income. i was happy to hear that unlike many other developing nations, this nation was granting unemployment benefits to people who come into the bracket of zero to a level of income below which they would qualify for the unemployment benefits. that means the self employed can also receive unemployment benefits if self employed are earning an income that is below the threshold of income earners who do not need the government benefits to keep themselves afloat. i was especially happy for the immensely talented craftsmen of the country whose places had been taken by the mass production machinery. they did not make much money to fulfill their necessities yet the work they produced was so fine, original and culture rich. this group certainly deserved some help from the government if not in the form of subsidies than certainly in the form of these unemployment benefits.
