Decades after America started to experiment with "workfare", requiring those on welfare to do some work in return for their handouts, France has woken up to the idea. Laurent Wauquiez, the Europe minister, recently called welfare dependency a "cancer in French society" and said that recipients should contribute at least five hours of community service a week. At first he was denounced from all sides. Yet his idea is now gaining ground. Many politicians may have choked with indignation at Wauquiez's plan, but most voters, no doubt mindful of benefit fraud, seem to approve. Fully 67% told one poll that they were in favour of requiring RSA beneficiaries to work.
