A National Government will take what it says is a new approach to reducing benefit dependency among young people.
The National Party are particularly keen to do something about the 13,000 under 25-year-olds who have been on the Jobseeker benefit for a year or longer.
Under the plan, community providers will be contracted to provide 18-to-24-year-olds with a job coach.
At the same time, jobseekers will receive more support and even a $1000 bonus payment if they stick it out in a new job for twelve months.
Those who don't go along with it will face sanctions.
National Party leader Christopher Luxon spoke to Guyon Espiner.
