Not saying I would, but if everyone did that, we would have zero or very low unemployment. It could be a kind of internship to build someones skills or at least further their experience, and then they could move on when another job presented itself. This would be timeboxed for say 3-6 months and could be done once a decade and still have enough employees to give every job seeker a shot. For those that wouldn't want to ultimately lose the money, perhaps a deal could be made that once they get a job, they give 10% or the equivalent back to you. Saving Changes...

Hi Erik, well if such as idea were to be carried out, it would be voluntary to take the 10%, and it would be under certain conditions. Unethical managers could take advantage of cheaper labor, but there should be a framework in place that helps to prevent this. The reasoning or rationale is very simply: to reduce unemployment to low or zero figures, while improving/sharing the skills and knowledge within the workforce.
Thank you for your feedback and comments. Saving Changes...

The question assumes that everyone works hard and gives their 100%. Though I don't know how you would fairly root out those that don't work hard. I would have a hard time giving 10% across the board for everyone in a large company.

Valid points Theresa, it would all need to be in some kind of framework. I imagine the person sacrificing the 10% would be the working with (and supervising) the person working, which is the best way to ensure they are working properly.

Quite Interesting.
I will be giving my 10% of salary but who would be giving the more important part which is 'time' from business hours to train that person?

two possible solutions Amir (there may be more): 1. the employed person is in effect learning on the job, so shadowing the person who is paying the 10%, or if there are other employees enrolled in the system, rotating this person around. 2. Most companies have training in-house in groups, the new person could join these groups. But really the best training is just on the job.
