Call You and Yours: Young People in the Job Market
Is enough being done to tackle youth unemployment?
Almost a fifth of the workforce aged between 16 and 24 are unemployed. Are you, or is someone in your family, trying to get that elusive first job? Tell us about the competition for a post, the interviews, and the number of application forms you, or they, have filled in. Do you think enough is being done to tackle unemployment among young people? Are Modern Apprenticeships and initiatives like the Government’s Future Jobs Fund providing meaningful opportunities?
