Is that not what we already do through welfare/benefit payments?

Not in France. Here, you're supposed to look for a job (and prove it). If you don't, no welfare for you.

I believe few countries have a welfare system that is conditioned on nothing else than near-zero revenue.

We have a similar system in the UK, though it is fraught with bureaucracy. There is little (quality) help offered to people seeking jobs which leaves some people just going through the motions. From what I remember they want people to look for work within certain categories which can either be too broad or too narrow.
