Put simply, it's an alien world. They can try to go for a job, but who would employ a chav who is incapable of presenting himself due to their social circumstances? To maintain any dignity they can present it as their 'choice', but really they have no other options.

But being illiterate is another problem that would need to be solved, but just paying people to sit on their backsides is just a kop out, i dont think it needs to be that way, like i said earlier, if they can work but cant get a job, its not the end of all problems to give them benefits, community service would give them training, job skills, a bit of acheivement and pride in what they are doing, ok not for some, but some.
