‘Chaotic’ youth job scheme failing to deliver, MPs say
The £1.9bn plan to get youth into work has helped fewer people than predicted, a group of MPs says. …
“It has given more than 130,000 young people opportunities to work, earn and improve their prospects. It responded to extraordinary circumstances at unprecedented pace, as part of the wider Plan for Jobs which has defied forecasts of unemployment rising to 12% – the headline rate is actually 4.1%,” they said.
