The MWA scheme also does not work. The DWP's most recent study is clear about its efficacy: it has zero effect on increasing people's chances of getting a job. Nevertheless, the idea of forcing those on benefits to undertake weeks and months of unpaid work has spread. In August the London mayor, Boris Johnson, announced he was using European social fund money to force 18- to 24-year-olds to commit themselves to 13 weeks of unpaid work.

So why keep pushing with it eh? Why so keen to provide free labour for businesses?
