Speaking for the UK, this is a requirement to receive unemployment benefits. You have to prove you’re actively seeking a job for a minimum of 35 hours per week, and you’re not considered to be “looking hard enough” if you’re not applying for every single job that you could realistically travel to, no matter how unsuitable you are for the job. If there’s a hospital 5 minutes walk from your house that are recruiting a surgeon, someone on unemployment would be expected to apply despite having zero suitable qualifications. If they don’t, they get sanctioned, which means they don’t receive enough social security to pay their rent and/or food and/or power.
