Many petty-bourgeois people say that it is a waste of Sweden's labor resources that the unemployed are not forced to do a lot of useful work such as cleaning the motorway ditches in order to keep their allowances. This is not economically or legally sound.
The compensation you receive as an unemployed person is lower than it is for someone who has a real job. This is so that real work is not included. If you are forced to work without real pay, this can lead to a strong downward pressure on the salary situation. People may be forced to become unemployed to get an income. When the people are forced to get by on less and less, they cannot consume to the same extent and then tax revenues as well as company profits decrease.
Then, as a matter of legal principle, it is important to distinguish between work-exempt compensation and work for which the salary must be included.
