Due to the benefits system work can be worth as little as 26p per hour, and indeed some people live in properties and areas that would be unaffordable to them with their 'average' earnings from when working.
Where's the incentive to work when you can stay at home for 30 cigarettes a week less knowing that so long as you go through the appropriate motions you'll be ok?

Incentive to work isn't just financial, when i was unemployed i was bored off my rocker despite looking for work. You've got no money to do anything or go anywhere, you can't spend time with your mates because you don't wanna be a sponge ... it's a difficult life.
I'd say that if someone is choosing that, there's something mentally wrong with 'em. In which case, they'll probably need disability anyway.
