II) In the US, payments to disabled workers on the average replace about half of their former earnings. In some other countries such as Sweden and the Netherlands disabled workers receive as much as 70 to 90% of their average earnings. We also observe that the proportion of workers receiving disability benefits is much lower in the US than in the latter two nations. Are these findings consistent with the work-leisure model? Explain.
