I don't know where you got 10% from.

Not everyone want to accept and/or can handle the risks to run their own business or just be self-employed: you can't just have high end exciting jobs for 100% of population, there ain't just that many jobs: someone needs to clean buildings, just like someone needs to develop state of the art IT - in the middle you can have people who assemble cars, mine stuff etc - if you cut out that middle ground then I say they've got far more chance to go down on the dole then go up - people are just not trained for it, they don't have resources to sustain such change, Govts don't really give a tulip - it's cheaper (in a short term) for them to have someone on the dole.
