Young people would no longer be entitled to the main sickness and disability benefits under a radical overhaul of the welfare system that would see a reduction in financial support for some.
Former health secretary Alan Milburn has proposed a "big rewriting" of the system as part of his review to be published on Tuesday - and admitted the road will not be "pain-free" in an interview with The Times.
The chair of the Social Mobility Foundation spent the last year reviewing the one million people aged 18-24 who are not in education, employment or training. He said that reforming the system would be the best way to offer young people a chance of finding work.
