Unemployment: Young People
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent assessment he has made of the effect of fiscal policy on the level of youth unemployment.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 18 November 2013]: The UK labour market is showing some signs of recovery. Youth unemployment excluding those in full-time education fell on the quarter, while the number of young people claiming JSA is lower now than it was in 2010.
This Government is committed to supporting long-term unemployed young people, which is why we launched the Youth Contract in April 2012. This will help half a million young people into employment.
