Author of major review into youth unemployment rejects ‘crude cuts’ to payments and downplays opposition to his proposals within Labour
Andy Burnham has pledged to intervene as early as childhood to tackle youth unemployment before a watershed review, promising “a root-and-branch rethink of how we support childhood in the modern world”.
Burnham said the government would intervene at all the stages of life in which young people fell behind, and “long before they find themselves out of work and reliant on the state”, including providing more opportunities for vocational training in schools.
