Answer 1

Government programmes encouraging jobseekers to work for free have been the subject of fierce controversy in recent weeks, with major employers coming under pressure to refuse to take unpaid workers as part of the scheme.

The Department for Work and Pensions saye the schemes are aimed at getting unemployed people back to work, are rarely (if ever) compulsory. Critics have dubbed the programmes as "Workfare", likening them to unpaid labour, or forcing people to work for their benefits.
