They need to work out a way where it is better to work than not, that is if people get work they don't lose out on all the benefits they get while not working. It must be hard to look at the figures and work out that to take a job would mean being worse off than not to do so. "Benefits" need to be scaled so that it is never more beneficial just to stay on welfare.
