David Cameron is expected to set out plans for tackling poverty, including allowing people to keep more benefits when they return to work.
In a speech in London, the Conservative leader is due to match Labour's pledge to eradicate child poverty by the end of the decade.
He will also reportedly promise to lower unemployment during his first five years in office.
Mr Cameron's predecessor and a key welfare adviser, Iain Duncan Smith, has already backed the idea of giving benefit claimants hundreds of pounds if they return to employment.
In his speech, Mr Cameron is also expected to say that the Conservatives will review all welfare programmes within two years of coming to power, and scrap those deemed not to be working.
