The Lib Dems in Government are taking real action to tackle
youth unemployment. Every young person
who wants it will be guaranteed a job, training or work placement.
The Youth Contract will create over 400,000 new jobs and
250,000 new work experience placements to help young people across Britain to
get into work.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg MP said, “If people are out
of work when they’re young they bear the scars for decades. If they have a
false start, they might not ever fully catch up.
"This £1 billion investment will make sure our young
people are earning and learning again, before long-term damage is done.”
The Liberal Democrats are determined to tackle youth
unemployment - an issue that has been ignored for too long. During Labour’s 13
years in power, youth unemployment rose by nearly 40%.
