> due to more entrepreneurialism.

We have three awesome control groups currently:

(1) Retirees with skills don't suddenly decide to become entrepreneurs when they reach 65.

(2) people on the dole don't suddenly become entrepreneurs. We even used to have a specific programme in New Zealand for the unemployed to start their own business . . . I'm fairly sure it didn't work.

(3) mothers on the DPB get a good whack of money even with kids that don't need Hyde time investment. It is rare to see them do anything more entrepreneurial than an under-the-table job.

I love your optimism, but it isn't realistic.
