The research also shows that the longer people are on benefit, the less likely they are to actively seek employment.I have little doubt that almost all of the ninety-odd thousand "sick and disabled" people would quickly find work if benefits were cut or time-limited, but I realised long ago that the government's policy is to put the entire British population on welfare leaving me as the sole taxpayer.This so-called dependancy culture is regarded as a major obstacle to the city's future economic growth.
