My suggestion is that in the Small Work Act they give the possibility to work 14 hours a week also to people in regular employment who could improve their standard of living! According to this proposal, the Small Work Act would therefore give the possibility of additional earnings to the entire population (students, pensioners, unemployed, full-time workers), thus making everyone competitive and not favouring certain groups of people.
My proposal perhaps targets mainly the younger population. This would give them the opportunity to earn extra money and to have a better chance of becoming independent more quickly, especially if they buy a house, which is a major expense, unrealistic for many people, and almost impossible to achieve nowadays on a regular, meagre salary (I am also thinking of the 70% payment for a 12-month traineeship). This would allow young people to earn an extra income every month, which might just cover the housing loan and thus a higher standard of living that they could not afford with a regular job alone. But once the basic living conditions are met, many would no longer find it worthwhile to do both jobs and would only work full-time. So this proposal is primarily aimed at giving working people the opportunity to earn extra money in a legal way by working.
If the unemployed are also given the opportunity to earn extra money, the combination of social assistance would bring them closer to the standard of those in regular employment, in that they would work significantly fewer hours, only 14 hours instead of 40.
At least I personally, who am in a similar situation, would be willing to work an extra 14 hours a week on top of my regular job, with another employer, if that would enable me to get a new flat instead of a second-hand one, even though I am about to finish my degree, I would not defend myself with the works of a lower education level. When we are still young we would like to at least try to make many dreams come true, a new flat, a trip... we start from zero, so we are more dedicated to making something of ourselves.
