"We spend billions of pounds on welfare, yet millions are trapped on welfare. It's not worth their while going into work"
- David Cameron
About this Quote
This quote by David Cameron speaks with the ineffectiveness of the well-being system in the UK. He is explaining that in spite of the billions of pounds invested in well-being, countless people are still stuck in a cycle of hardship and dependence. This suggests that the welfare system is not offering adequate assistance to help individuals shift into the workforce. He is also suggesting that the current system does not supply adequate incentive for people to go to work, as the benefits they receive from welfare are more than they would get from a job. This quote highlights the need for a more efficient welfare system that supplies the needed support and incentives for individuals to vacate poverty and into the labor force.
