A major political party has proposed introducing stricter conditions for young adults receiving welfare support, including new work-related obligations as part of their benefits package. The changes aim to address concerns over youth unemployment and financial independence among recipients under a certain age. Critics may question whether such measures could disproportionately affect vulnerable groups already facing barriers to employment. Supporters argue the policy would encourage self-sufficiency while maintaining safety-net protections.
The party says it would bring in new work requirements for young people claiming Universal Credit.
