Gordon Brown wants to see poor families paid extra benefits if they take on work or skills training.
During his first visit to Wales as PM, he will call for a "contract" between government and the worst-off families.
He is examining a New York scheme which offers cash to encourage people back into work and education.
For the Tories, Chris Grayling said Mr Brown was "chasing headlines" after warning last month of benefits cuts for those who refused training.
Later Mr Brown will tell Welsh Labour's Llandudno conference that people must do what they can to take up work and acquire the skills to become employed.
If Brown's plan is enacted then it may reduce the crime rate even further than it is now. Also, this plan may help improve the economy as well.
Grade this.
