Workfare

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen to edit the workfare article because it seems to be limited information pertaining to the shallow assumption that work reduces or assists people in avoiding poverty. The benefit of the doubt extended to the American job force is a frequent tool used to perpetuate a false narrative regarding poverty and welfare. If we are to discuss workfare, we must also discuss the premise it was founded upon. As we dissect that premise, we may illuminate some new and valuable truths regarding workfare and poverty.

Evaluate the article
The article was incredibly insightful, yet there was room for expansion regarding the foundations of workfare. There was an exceptional amount of information regarding the history of the policy and the sexist and racist ideologies that influenced workfare. The information regarding the criticism of workfare and how it perpetuates poverty are ample. The researchers offer standard and clear outcomes regarding the cycle of poverty that many are victims of due to workfare. Information regarding the philosophy and economic fallacies that workfare was founded on is largely missing due to the article's focus on the material criticisms of workfare. While there is a lot of room for criticism on account of the outcomes of workfare, more information regarding the philosophies and ideal workfare were founded upon could offer context to the failures of workfare.
