Prince’s Trust study should be a wake-up call for this complacent Government on youth unemployment - Rachel Reeves

1. Rachel Reeves MP, Labour’s Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, responding to research by the Prince’s Trust on the effects of youth unemployment, said:
   
   ”The Prince’s Trust study should be a wake-up call for this complacent Government which is failing to tackle youth unemployment.
   "With youth unemployment at worryingly high levels this is no recovery for those young people who are facing a cost-of-living crisis and risk being locked out of earning their way to a better standard of living in the longer term.

   "Labour would act to tackle youth unemployment with a compulsory jobs guarantee, funded by repeating the tax on bank bonuses. This would guarantee real paid work for young people unemployed for a year.”
