It's Wales. They have welfare for the unemployed to "feed themselves".
No, it's Germany -- RTFA.

I agree with you, but the article is about Wales
That was neither a decent job, nor a decent wage. It was just a job and a wage they were forced to do in order to feed themselves, and under very bad conditions.
If a "totally unskilled" jobless person comes to me for money, I can offer him the chance dance, call me "master" and crawl at my feet and then give him $10.
Something which he might be forced to accept (hunger trumps pride).
That doesn't make my offer "decent" -- even if nobody else was willing to give him $10 anyway.
