Nobody is going to hire a 60 year old person while you can have a 20 year old (maybe from Poland) for half the money. If that persons retires at 60, 2 younger people can wok for the same money. So that 60 year old person in not taking pensions but unemployment fee, what is the difference?
PS, the dutch wellfare systems isn't made by working hard. But because we where Lucky we have some gas and oil.

i don't know how old you are but i remember very well the times when there was messages of doom every week in the news how robots will take over everything and everyone will be out of work
robots came and the unemployment rate at least in Germany today is lower than back then
why?
because since then for example the internet, the IT industry, mobile industry etc came up and created millions of new jobs
you think "robots" will do your work too?
and just another example - Volkswagen had 192,000 employees in 1972 - then the robots came - and last year they had almost 600,000 employees
this is an absurd discussion - robots.... will robots also wipe your ass when you're old and can't move anymore?
jeez...
