Under-25s to get work credits as incentives to get jobs

Lord Freud's universal credits will be available to under-25s who are in work, as a way of showing that work will always pay more than benefits.

BBC Radio 5 live Wake Up To Money asked Gary Vaux, the head of money advice at Herfordshire County Council, if this was a way of tackling the problem of youth unemployment.
