That's a great point. Many people actually have the intentions of running their own business, but are afraid to take the first step. Some are not young, and have families to support, so the thought of giving up their job and salary turns them away from being self-dependent. It's a harsh reality. If they fail, and look to being an employee again, chances of them getting their last drawn salary is rather low (at least where i am based, that would be the case).
