The Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan-Smith says it is "madness" that taxpayers are supporting families with large numbers of children to live on benefits.
The government will further outline its strategy for welfare reforms today, in particular capping the benefits of people with a certain number of children.
Alison Garnham, chief executive of the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG), told Today presenter John Humphrys that she is "very worried" about the announcement.
"Six out of ten poor children live with a working parent," she explained.
