Abstract
We study how work requirements can be used to target transfers to

the long term poor. Without commitment, time consistency requires all

screening measures to be concentrated in the first phase of the program.

We show that this increases the effectiveness of workfare; it is optimal to

use work requirements for a wider range of prior beliefs about the size

of the poor population, and work requirements are used more intensively.

We compare these results with the optimal policy under commitment.
