That’s also conditioned by how hard it is to escape debt. In my country if you can’t pay back what you owe you turn into an indentured servant for life. No matter where you hide and what job you pick, the state will come and take most of your pay leaving you with just enough to get by.
I would like to say that it is not necessarily true either. I do not have to go far, I could just take a look at my mother. Funny thing is that it was not even her who asked for a loan, it was my father, but they were married. They divorced, and fought the "bank" for years to no end. My mother is still the one who is suffering from the actions of my father. She will, to her last day. It makes me sad, her pension probably will be negligible.
Regardless, my mother would not get by at all on her own. :/ She works hard physical labor which affected her health A LOT. She is working hard just so a huge percentage of her salary can be taken away for something she did not do.
I don't think there is a country without any sort of limited liability company. But many startup entrepreneurs will only be able to borrow money from the banks if they accept personal liability and provide collateral, guarantors, etc.
Bankruptcy protection for individuals is not available everywhere and it often comes with very onerous conditions.
