In my view, it’s a matter of incentives.
The returns to labor must be sufficient to encourage honest work, picking apples or whatever.
Second, there should be stronger social incentives to work. The welfare system needs to be radically redesigned. And no, I don’t mean radically cut. In my view, that isn’t practical in the near term.
I suppose there are people who don’t respond to incentives. They would probably end up in prison or in the fringes of society in any age, not just ours.
What "social incentives", exactly?
IMHO, welfare should be cut, dramatically, along with many entitlements. Many people see that as politically impossible, but how else do you incentivize people to work? But also eliminate payroll taxes, so that low-wage workers can keep all their earnings.
