I think if we did away with welfare al together then people would work for a living

It is important to remember that welfare is meant to help people in need of financial support, not to encourage people to not work. In theory, welfare can help people get back on their feet so that they are able to support themselves, as well as create an incentive for people who may not be able to access employment due to barriers such as a disability or caring responsibilities. Thus, welfare should not be seen as a replacement for employment, rather a safety net to make sure that everybody can access their human right to a basic standard of living.
