Young people should have a legal guarantee of a job, training or employment support, the author of a major review of youth unemployment has told the BBC.
Alan Milburn, the former Labour minister whose proposals on welfare and young people will be unveiled on Tuesday, said those who refuse to take up the help could lose their benefits.
In an interview to be broadcast on Sunday, Milburn called for a radical shift in government spending away from benefits for young people to measures that support them into work.
