When I think about what a reasonable hourly wage is, I don't see it working in my country at all. My understanding is that the main portion of drivers in Copenhagen is made up of exchange students, who have to work some hours per week to qualify for student aid, so it makes sense for them because the state basically tops up their wages.
That actually sounds like an ideal system for providing opportunities to low-wage workers without locking them into low wages indefinitely
I think it sounds like a misplaced subsidy. If we're going to use students as state-sponsored labour, surely we can think of a better job for them to do than prop up some foreign enterprise with an unworkable business model...
we as society should think more about who is doing the lower wage jobs that nobody wants to do than students that are pursuing their dream career.
