 As just stated, however, it seems like there is another obvious response to the fairness objection. Rather than not enacting a social minimum, we could instead enact a social minimum but include in the rules of the social minimum policy regime a work- or contribution-related condition. For example, if one claims cash benefits to assist with low income then eligibility for the benefits can be made conditional on work-related activity. We might call this, the principle of work-conditionality (for apparent endorsements of this principle, subject to widely varying degrees of qualification, see Anderson 1999: 321; Gutmann and Thompson 1996: chapter 8; Mead 1986, 1992, 1997; Rawls 2001: 179; White 2000, 2003, 2005). To be clear, by work-conditionality we mean conditions that link elements of the social minimum policy regime to some kind of employment-related activity, such as active job search or retraining, not necessarily to work itself. (‘Work’ is, moreover, a broader concept than ‘employment’, a point we shall return to below.)
