Under anarchism, how are people that don't want to work dealt with?
I did a quick search and was surprised to not find any posts relating to this, as this is one of the first things that people bring up when I talk about anarchism.
I understand that there would likely less work that needs to be done in an anarchist society (removing bullshit jobs), and work would be distributed more equitably among those that do want to work, but what about those that don't?
It is my belief that people do have a fundamental urge to work/produce/fix things, but it could be argued that this is not the case for everyone. Is there any proposed system to incentivise people to work, other than any duty to their fellow man that they may or may not feel, and the innate want to work that they may or may not feel? Additionally, is there any studies on whether or not there is this innate want to work?

Make work acceptable to the worker, instead of forcing workers to accept the work. Everyone does something in life, whatever that is you pay them for. Some people can do work testing marijuana strains for instance. Or testing video games, or working on them. Essentially if you pay people to do the thing they do without being paid, everyone will work. If someone does not want to do anything, pay them to speculate on philosophical issues, or to just think. In a truly free society there would be no discernable difference between work and leisure. Everyone would be adequealty paid to do what they want to do.
