definition: Workfare is a policy of making the receipt of unemployment benefits conditional upon the requirement to look for work or actively engage in other prescribed activities. For example, in 1998, the Labour government in Britain introduced a New Deal program for young people. [Source: Encyclopedia of Governance; Workfare]
