Youth unemployment is threatening to become “a crisis we cannot afford”, said a report published yesterday. Over 250,000 young people have been unemployed for over a year according to Labour MP David Miliband, who chaired the commission, with a further 200,000 unemployed for over six months. “Some of the areas of the highest youth unemployment have the lowest levels of immigration,” Miliband added, dismissing the government’s concern over foreign workers. The commission suggested doubling the number of wage subsidies for the young unemployed. It also suggested that every young person in employment should mentor a jobless young person.
