  Thee are lots of things that need to be done in every community that cannot be done due to lack of funds or manpower, these are exactly the sort of things that people should do in return for financial assistance off the state. Similarly these may well be tasks that get done by people on community service.
  
  I wanted the state to go further and offer kids at 16 a simple choice, stay at school/college and get paid (subject to attendance etc.), do community service for 2 years and get paid benefit or get a job - no one who does not do the first 2 will get money off the state and those who get a job at that age probably do not need state handouts. We have to make it attractive for people to stay in education and make themselves more employable. I also want the state to work with colleges of further education and local employers to create job clubs that sponsor trade relevant courses in colleges and provide work placement opportunities to kids on those courses and possibly traineeships etc.
