Not sure about Finnish example, but where I am right now (Switzerland), social security does exactly that, without major costly experiments with god know what results.<p>In fact, system is so effective that if you end up unemployed, for one year you&#x27;ll be given 80% of your former salary (capped, but to 120,000 CHF!) so you are not burdened with looking for cheaper accommodation etc which is very hard here. If you cannot find anything in 1 year, then other services kick in, of course with much lower cash flow. It works remarkably well.
