Workfare

This is the Wikepedia definition of WORKFARE:
Workfare is an alternative model to conventional social welfare systems. Traditional welfare benefits are available with little required of the recipient, save their (sometimes) continued search for employment, if that. Under workfare, recipients have to meet certain participation requirements to continue to receive their welfare benefits. These requirements are often a combination of activities that are intended to improve the recipient's job prospects (such as training, rehabilitation and work experience) and those designated as contributing to society (such as unpaid or underpaid work). These programs, now common in the United States Australia (as "mutual obligation") and Canada, have generated considerable debate and controversy.
