“In the 1980s youth unemployment continued to rise for four years after the recession ended. A generation of talent was wasted. We are determined that must never happen again, so we will guarantee a job, training or work experience at six months for 18 to 24 year olds.
“And, because we believe that work is the best way out of poverty we are continuing with radical reform to the welfare system. This means that everyone – be they lone parents, carers or disabled people will get the support they need, not only to get work – but to stay in work. We will also guarantee that people will be better off in a job than on benefits.”
(Yvette Cooper -on announcing the White Paper - Building Britain’s Recovery: Achieving Full Employment)
And at the moment youth unemployment (16 to 24-year-olds) was at 952,000 in the three months to October, a quarterly rise of 6,000. NL are parrot fashioning the phrase ‘investing in young people’ and this is all meaningless considering there’s an election coming up. They also emphasise the need for ’high quality’ and ‘the chance of progression and development’… But where are these mythical jobs?
You have fire and Grimstone in the public sector which means slashing public sector jobs, which means more unemployment and selling off the family silver aint gonna help except for the establishment in their desperation to sell the public sector for profit. We are looking towards very depressing times ahead which needs the Left needs to get its act together to fight this….
