Proceeding contribution from Lisa Nandy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 March 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Services for Young People.


Services for Young People

My hon. Friend is right to place the issue in the wider context. Does she agree that when youth unemployment rose in the mid-2000s, that was because there was an increase in labour supply—more young people were looking for the same number of jobs—whereas the skyrocketing of youth unemployment since the current Government came to power has been caused by a collapse in labour demand? The jobs simply are not there. The Minister needs to take that seriously.
