Late reply, but this isn't really so much about being "lazy", more about unrealistic standards. It's like if all IT fresh grads in Sweden (to name the same random country again) would only want to work at Spotify or DICE or bust. And they'd rather live with their parents for two years after uni in the hope they might get a job at either of those 2 then go work at a smaller company outside of Stockholm that would instantly hire them.

This permeates through in every facet of society. For example, the exact same psychology is the reason behind having the lowest birthrate in the world. Don't have the money to raise a child in a nice new apartment in a great neighborhood including tens of thousands dollars spent on private education? Ok, then no child it is.
