welfare to work
Assistance requires employment
Welfare to work refers to government policies requiring public assistance recipients to seek employment or participate in job training as a condition of receiving benefits.
The approach emerged prominently in 1990s American politics with the goal of reducing long-term dependency on social programs: The welfare to work program helped her find a job within six months.
Critics argue such policies can push people into low-wage jobs without addressing underlying barriers to employment.
