Employment Schemes: Young People

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (1) when statistics for the Youth Contract wage subsidy scheme will be released;

[155473]

Answer

In most cases the wage incentive element of the Youth Contract is paid after a young person has been in work continuously for 26 weeks. Following the collection and quality assurance of this data, the first set of Official Statistics on the wage incentive should be available in the next few months.

The Department is working to guidelines set by the UK Statistics Authority to ensure we publish statistics that meet high quality standards at the earliest opportunity.
