الإعتماد على معاش الدولة
Explanation: Ramadan Karim, Ziad. "Benefit dependency" happens when unemployed people have no other income but that provided them by the Department of Social Security. Such money is called "benefits" since the citizens are "benefiting" from the government handouts. It is also called in England "worklessness", so you could translate it as (البطالة). In its worst scenario, people get used to these benefits like to drugs and no lonegr look for work/can't look for work. In that case it can be seen as (إدمان)
