The Future Jobs Fund created temporary opportunities, mainly in the public and voluntary sectors. Information on how many people who would have been entitled to apply to FJF are currently unemployed is not available. In part this is because eligibility involved an element of adviser discretion. In addition, individuals who would have been eligible for FJF will in many cases be able to take advantage of alternative support that has been put in place to help people find sustainable jobs in the private sector.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what assessment has been made of the effect of the two-year gap between the ending of the Future Jobs Fund and the start of the Youth Contract on levels of long-term youth unemployment.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what assessment has been made of the effect of the two-year gap between the ending of the Future Jobs Fund and the start of the Youth Contract on levels of long-term youth unemployment.
[140101]
No such assessment is possible as the period over which the Future Jobs Fund was run down coincided with the introduction of new provision to help young people into employment such as work experience, sector-based work academies and the Work programme. Excluding students, youth ILO unemployment is down by 30,000 since the 2010 election and the number of young people claiming jobseeker's allowance has fallen by 9,000. Over the three years from April 2012 the Youth Contract is expected to provide nearly half a million new opportunities for young people.

DWP does not hold information on the results of the Future Jobs Fund for each constituency in the UK. However, it has published official statistics on Future Jobs Fund participant outcomes at a regional level (which may be found here:
http://research.dwp.gov.uk/asd/asd1/jsa/ypg/ypg_fjf_annexe_apr2012.pdf
and a national evaluation of the impacts of the Future Jobs Fund (which may be found here:
http://statistics.dwp.gov.uk/asd/asd1/adhoc_analysis/2012/impacts_costs_benefits_fjf.pdf
It is not possible to replicate the results of the Future Jobs Fund impact analysis for each constituency in the UK, largely because of insufficient sample sizes at this geographical level.
The future jobs fund was a massively expensive programme that saw more than half of participants return to benefit after completing it, and it was largely in the public sector. Of course I welcome the scheme that the hon. Gentleman mentioned; if it has created a job in his constituency, that is welcome. The truth is, though, that the biggest problem we have in this country is clearing up the mess that Labour left, and that is why we have to find better, more efficient ways of doing things.

Thanks to Jobs Growth Wales, an innovative start-up in my constituency called Boulders Climbing Centre, which I recently visited, has taken on a new member of staff. Will Ministers join me in congratulating the Welsh Government on their scheme and explain why they cancelled funding for the future jobs fund?

At up to £6,500 per person the Future Jobs Fund was five times more expensive than some other elements of the previous Government's Young Person's Guarantee. The fund did not ensure sustainable employment for young people; it created short-term jobs; and the grants did not include any incentives to move people into permanent posts. Reducing the scope of the programme saved up to £290 million to help the Government tackle the unprecedented £156 billion deficit.

[130149]
The Future Jobs Fund lasted between October 2009 and March 2011. Overall there were 450 starts to Future Jobs Fund vacancies in the Kilmarnock and Loudoun constituency: 40 starts in 2009, 310 starts in 2010 and 100 starts in 2011. Note that since placements usually lasted for six months, people who started in one year (e.g. 2009) might still be receiving assistance in the next year (e.g. 2010), so the number of starts in 2010 and 2011 will be different to the number of people receiving assistance in 2010 and 2011.

Jonathan Ashworth (Leicester South) (Lab):
The Prime Minister must have studied his Government’s own report that shows that the future jobs fund had a net benefit to participants, employers and society. Given that report, and that youth unemployment is now higher in Leicester than it was at the general election, why did he tell me in questions a year ago that the future jobs fund provided only “phoney jobs”?

The hon. Gentleman needs first to explain why youth unemployment went up 40% under the Labour Government. The facts of the future jobs fund are these: the figures show that 2% of the placements in Birmingham under the future jobs fund were in the private sector, but the rest were in the public sector. The cost of the scheme was 20 times higher than the work experience placement, which is doing just as well.
