Since we came back to the UK over 25 years ago I have been out of work for at the most 3 months, yes Iv been lucky to always be able to find work and tbh the social security helped me out in those 3 months but I hated signing and felt degraded.
What pisses me off, is the people who never work and just take take and take and never give anything back. Yes we have a lot of those people over here in the UK. They should have a cut of time, If you dont get a job within 6 months ..no more money and hand outs. Get off your ass and work or get nothing simple.

Your social security (N.I) also pays for your free healthcare and pension. so you will/do use it.
At least its % based in the UK. In Spain its $300 minimum a month. that's why there's so much black market working going on. Even if you earn $1000 a month you have to pay $300 in social security.
Netherlands was a fair system when I lived there, it's cheap if you earn a low wage around 30 euros then about 100euros if you earn more, that was 12 years ago though, so probably gone up.
