It's thought that new beneficiary initiatives make huge financial sense for New Zealand.
The Government's announced from November next year, parents who earn more than 65-and-a-half thousand dollars must support their 18 and 19-year-olds.
There's also a thousand dollar bonus for certain people who stay off benefits for a year.
Blue Light Youth Chief Operating Officer, Rod Bell told Mike Hosking we want to break the cycle of young people staying on the benefit for decades.
