A generation of young people risk is getting rid of the benefits after one in four said they were considering stopping the workforce.
Poor mental health was given the most common reason by under 25s because they want to fall out of work.
A Stark report exposes the Labor's Challenge scale, while it wants to view the opposition of its own back benchers to cut the ballooning welfare account and encourage adults to work again.
And the crisis seems to deepen, because one in ten employees is said to be actively considering leaving the staff, equal to 4.4 million British. This rises to a quarter of 18 to 24-year-olds, who are 40 percent more likely than older generations to give poor mental health as a reason to stop working.
A third of those who are classified as 'economically inactive' is 'not interested' in returning to Jobs-with 37 percent that low 'self-respect and trust' says as a barrier, a report from Accountantskantoor PWC. It concludes that considering leaving work has become 'mainstream'.
Yesterday, health secretary Wes Streeting warned that there is an 'overdiagnosis' of mental health rights that lead to 'too many people being written off'.
It is because the birth is expected to issue plans to reduce the benefits for the disabled for fear of a backbench uprising.
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall was planning to freeze personal independence payments (PIP) to tackle the spiral welfare account. But the plans are said to have gone into the face of a party report.

Official figures show that 9.3 million people – a fifth of the working age population – were 'economically inactive' at the end of last year because they did not work or were looking for a job. This includes 2.8 million not working due to long -term illness, with a large part of these claims as a result of mental health.
Last year the share of those who received disability benefits whose main condition was a mental or behavioral housing 44 percent, an increase of 40 percent in 2019 and only 25 percent in 2002, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
Among them are tens of thousands of young people who are now going directly from studying to being economically inactive, so that many expresses concern can be sent to a life on benefits. In the meantime, the costs of illness and disabilities benefits for working people are £ 20 billion since the pandemic.
The PWC report – in which more than 300 companies and 4,000 adults were investigated – showed that 63 percent of the companies have an increase in people who leave the work and were seen inactive, in which 70 percent of companies said that mental health has been the most important motivation.
About 57 percent of employers said they would be concerned about hiring someone who is economically inactive.
Marco Amitrano, from PWC, said: 'As well as the costs for private individuals, companies are understandably worried about the direct impact on productivity and financial performance. A large part of the current conversation focuses on how people get out of the workforce, the electricity that the workforce leaves in the first place is equally important. '
He said the investigation shows that “the path from work to inactivity was not put in stone,” with 43 percent who said they were interested in return. But perhaps the most worrying is that it is 31 percent not interested in returning to work, with 48 percent who mentions a long -term disease as the reason.

The health secretary told the BBCs on Sunday with Laura Kuensberg -Show: “Mental well -being, illness, it's a spectrum and I think there is certainly an overdiagnosis, but too many people are being written off and … too many people who just don't get the support they need.”
He added: 'Those three million [economically inactive] People who are excluded outside the labor market because of the long -term illness, that is a population that is the size of Greater Manchester. So you can see the scale of the problem. '
It is after a recent report from Policy Exchange has shown that the current welfare system will cost every taxpayer up to £ 1500 per year by 2028/29 and not encourages the claimants to look for work.
A government source said: 'The broken welfare system that we inherited is catching thousands of people in a life for benefits without support, or some hope for a future of life in work.
“Our reforms will offer fairness and opportunities for people with disabilities … Protect the protection system, so that it is sustainable for the future and there will be for those who need it.”
