Rumah kerja

Di Inggris dan Wales, rumah kerja (bahasa Inggris: workhouse, juga dikenal dengan sebutan spike) adalah sebuah tempat di mana orang-orang yang tak mampu menghidupi diri mereka sendiri diberi akomodasi dan pekerjaan. Penggunaan terawal yang diketahui dari istilah tersebut bermula dari tahun 1631, dalam sebuah catatan dari wali kota Abingdon mengabarkan bahwa "kami telah mendirikan sebuah rumah kerja di borough kami untuk memberikan pekerjaan kepada kaum miskin".^[a]^[1]

Asal muasal rumah kerja bermula pada Poor Law Act of 1388, yang berupaya untuk menanggapi penipisan buruh setelah Wabah Hitam di Inggris dengan membatasi gerakan buruh, dan membuat negara tersebut menjadi harus bertanggung jawab terhadap dukungan kepada kaum muskim. Namun, pengangguran massal terjadi setelah Perang Napoleon pada 1815 akibat pengenalan teknologi baru menggantikan sebagian para buruh tani, dan serangkaian panen buruh
