Tories: 'Lost generation' rely on benefits - Telegraph
A "lost generation" of young people stuck in a cycle of unemployment and benefits dependency is exposed in a damning dossier on youth poverty released on Monday...".When Labour came to power the number of young people living in poverty was falling. Today it is rising again, and is higher than it was in 1997.
"Together with the fact that unemployment among young people is also higher than it was 10 years ago, the reality is that the Government has run out of ideas when it comes to dealing with the challenges facing many young people."
I beg to disagree Labour still stick to their core ideas - shovelling money at the state sector to create crappy non-jobs and fudging the figures to reduce the headline figures. It is only as the money runs out and the new categories to put the unemployed into become stale that the problem emerges. Which is why they are so keen to enslave the 16-18 year olds into education to keep the numbers down - it will be zero under the new scheme. An only grumpy old carpers like me will wonder if the kids are actually doing anything productive.
