Benefits are much more generous and much easier to get in countries with much higher worker participation. And they have the same video games in other countries too.

And marriage does not cause entry in the workforce, participation in the workforce is what makes marriage partners more interested.

Reduction in benefits has not and is no increasing work participation. There was not spike in worker participation in the 90s when massive "reform" was undertaken. There is no increased work force participation from the cut backs being done now or in recent years. Yet loosening of work safety regulations would certainly be expected to increase disabilities for manual laborers. So the best conclusion is that the supposed cheaters aren't.

Also, if those not participating in the work force are merely enjoying life on theses supposed benefits, one would not expect the already high and ever increasing suicide rate in this sector.

The author's ideology entails denying calls for higher wages by diverting what is clearly a demand/wage problem[1] into a culture war issue.

[1] I'm guessing the author is a fan of Adam Smith where lack of participation is _always_ caused by under pricing. Apparently the author is willing to accept pretty thin evidence to drop Smith when that theory might benefit labor.
