That would imply that there are more people unemployed in a more socialist country.
But if you look at the numbers with some more soacialist countries, that is not the case.
Between a more socialist country and 100% socialism is a huge difference.
I think there isn't a 100% socialist country, most of the time the politics are between right and left.
Yes, i think in a more socialist land people 'get ahead' in life and become what they want. Maybe even more cause everybody is able to go to university and has good Healthcare, better life environment. Europe isn't Korea. You think everybody in the USA is able to visit the best school, get Always good healthcare and Always a minimun you can life from to offer your children also a better future?

Pure Socialism doesn't work, because it removes the reward factor for the best. Demoting or losing them.
Having a safety net for those in real need, like Pensions, Healthcare, Unemployment Benefits, Disability Pensions, is just looking after fellow citizens. Those who are fit enough to work, shouldn't be made to work looking after the society that looks after them. In return for their benefits.
As the world becomes more technical, it will need less people in low to medium paid jobs. This is going to present a real problem. With the increasing gap between those who can get a decent job and those who can't.
