Young People
How the Tories have failed young people
One in four people between 20 and 34 are still living with their parents
Women and young people are benefiting much less from the labour market recovery
The number of young people from ethnic minority backgrounds who have been unemployed for more than a year has also risen by almost 50 per cent since 2010
Here’s why the government’s Youth Contract failed
To prevent young people being left stranded and disillusioned on the dole, we need to move away from ‘one size fits all’ approaches.
Apprenticeship starts for young people fall by over 11,000 under coalition
Securing an apprenticeship is now twice as hard as getting a place at university.
People shouldn’t be written off for life because of past mistakes
Requirements for life-long disclosure of minor cautions are disproportionate.
Training for young people is a good move, but Labour should be asking more of employers
Without reference to how Labour intends to bring about good growth there is little point talking about training.
