They do so because they can afford it. It is a more humane system than the other options, which are to let them starve to death, to force them into a life of begging, prostitution or crime (lines of work western countries would prefer people not to take up), or to herd them into death camps and kill them. In societies where the drag on the economy of non-productive members is so great that it would force the productive members into starvation, however, they cannot afford to be humane. Subsistence Inuit groups who abandon elderly people (who are eventually among the unemployed) to die because they cannot afford to feed them are an example.

What are the effect of unemployed in society?

The affects of unemployment in a society are negative ones. With that said it must be pointed out that no society has a 100% employment rate of unemployment. In the real world, at any given point in time the normal rate of employment in most nations centers around 5%. Percentage points are important however, so the current 7% rate in the United States is not a healthy rate at all. The negative affects of unemployment effect the government and the people who are unemployed. Unemployed people in the USA as example receive unemployment funds to help them get by until they find a job. This aid is normally time limited and for most people the unemployment funds they receive are much lower than the pay of the jobs they once held. There is another form of unemployment however that is not due to people simply losing their jobs and then seeking to find new ones. What is a significant negative of unemployment are among those people who cannot or will not seek employment due to societal situations or personal situations. These are are called the chronically unemployed. The result of this type of unemployment may often lead to crime in order for these people to survive. Or, there are people who are always part of the welfare cycle. This may include unwed mothers who have too many children to work. Sociologists are deeply concerned about this type of situation as quite often the children of mothers on welfare become welfare recipirnts in adult life based on the fact they grew up in a "welfare" family.
