This is not a policy aimed solely at single, unattached individuals aged 18 - 24 in receipt of JSA.

Yes it is ,that is exactly who it is aimed at ,that was just about the only detail that Cameron has given us ,back in september last year when this policy was first revealed .
Quote:
"I want us to end the idea that aged 18 you can leave school, go and leave home, claim unemployment benefit and claim housing benefit.
"We shouldn't be offering that choice to young people; we should be saying, 'you should be earning or learning'."
Mr Cameron said the new rules would not apply to people with children, but was aimed at single young men and women so that they did not get trapped in "a life of dependency... that is no life at all".
