Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Pamela Nash (Labour). It was answered by Andrew Murrison (Conservative) on Wednesday, 28 January 2015 on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.


Youth Unemployment

Question

What steps the Government is taking to tackle youth unemployment in Northern Ireland.

Answer

The questions are timely because last week’s figures show that youth unemployment in Northern Ireland has fallen by 3.3 percentage points over the year, and is 175,000 lower than in May 2010. The Government’s long-term economic plan is promoting a sustainable economic recovery from the mess we inherited, and it is directly assisting young people into real jobs that have a future.
