They already have mandatory work placements, but no one should be forced to work for below the national minimum wage under any circumstances, not even foreigners should be made to do that.
If main reason there are so many unemployed is because there are too many people and not enough jobs, then Government needs to lower the amount of people and create more jobs.
The difference is that the companies would have to pay them if it was a job, if it's voluntary they'll be more likely to comply and then if there's any they are impressed with they can hire them if they wish. Also I'm not talking about full time work placements, I'm thinking of them doing as much work as they are paid in benefits. So a day or two a week, the experience would still be incredibly beneficial for them when it comes to looking for a job.

It's very easy to say 'create jobs' but how do you propose they go about it?
