‘Unemployment misery grips Britain’

The almost 400,000 needed jobs in Britain are currently affecting 18 to 24-year-olds since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008.

The TUC says that government ministers pose about an alleged number of Britons now in work but have failed to declare the growing population and rising state pension age for women.

Young people in the country have been on the receiving end, experiencing the sharpest fall in their job prospects as the situation has deteriorated since 2010.

“The government must do far more to help young people struggling for work,” said the TUC, “particularly as its current support schemes, like the Work Programme and the Youth Contract, are clearly not working.”

The TUC is urging the government to bring about guaranteed jobs that include training and a minimum payment for any young person out of work for at least six months.

Moreover, youth unemployment was found to be one of the main reasons for the suicide rate among young people in Britain, soaring in 2011 with a total figure of 6,045 people taking their own life.
