I have just one more point. With one of my students, I looked at the various national election plans in 15 countries in Europe. There were all kinds of ways social programs in these different countries were organized. But on certain matters, there was a clear difference between the countries that made a legislative commitment and those that did not, and you see the result in the policies that have been adopted, in the way work is supplemented or not, and what has happened. So these laws make a difference.
