Example text

Workfare in such analyses is more of an economic mechanism aimed at creating more employment than a (anti-)social policy merely located in moralising discourses about economic inactivity. That former notion of workfare is one we extend to the out-of-work and in-work benefit developments entrained by the latter governments of the Conservatives. We extend Costello’s argument to suggest that the term ‘market workfare’ is more appropriate. We use the word ‘workfare’ because of the coercion to find work introduced with out-of-work benefits, particularly the Jobseekers’ Allowance and the discursive framework in which Parents Plus was located; ‘market’ because it is existing and newly created employment in the market which it was believed would be filled by those moving from out-of-work benefits to in-work benefits.

Although take-up was slow at first, when FC was abolished in 1999 nearly 800 000 families with dependent children were receiving it (Department of Social Security press release 99/240). All the considerations about low entry level wages and differentials between benefit income which apply to families with children also apply in an economic sense to childless couples and single people. The only justification for dealing first with families with children has to be political. It could be that there was a judgement about children as innocent parties who should not bear too directly the burden of poverty visited upon their unemployed parents.

In other words, market workfare was a mechanism to help manage the inherent contradictions brought about by the shift to neo-liberal accumulation in the context of globalised markets and competition and a belief that (low) wages provided an important competitive edge. In the first instance, it was felt that more low-paid employment could be created, particularly through the ETU. Civil servant B, for example told us: Civil servant B: Well, I mean I have been persuaded it [ETU] won’t work unless it has an effect on wages.
