Yeah, these exist. They're called "1 Euro jobs" and the government likes to pretend they're a good thing (probably because they keep people busy so they can't complain about not actually having a real job).

The funny thing about most of these social reforms is that they were introduced by the more social of the two major parties -- although at this point they're social in name only.

They also legalised temp agencies creating an entire market of quasi-but-not-really employed people who don't show up in unemployment stats even if they're sitting around not getting paid.
