Do something proactive.

Employ one.

Reading Mancies quote in your post, he would have us think that in May 2010 the youth unemployment was zero, zilch, nothing, unfortunately outside the bubble there's a real world, seldom visited by Mutt and Jeff, north and south of the border

I wholeheartedly agree with you, we must concentrate on apprenticeships so that we can compete in the world market, however, where will these young people go to serve their apprenticeships? For them to learn we need factories that employ skilled workers, there aren't very many of those left around here.

Re: The Tories

I think I heard somewhere that the government is going to set up something along these lines....but as Less has so rightly observed we do not have a great mnufacturing base anymore.
Most of the manufacturing that goes on is in the production of food.
Mancie with your insight and skills I cannot see why the government haven't snapped you up to work in tandem with your cohort C'mon...after all he is doing such a sterling job.

Re: The Tories

The thing is going to university has been the bee hole and end hole for school kids for years now, some how leaving school at sixteen and taking an apprenticeship has been seen as a failure my lots of young people, when I was at school the only people going to university were people from Grammar schools, the thing we have now is lots of young people highly qualified with no nowhere to go. Only yesterday the Government announced the introduction of new apprenticeship and training schemes with incentives for firms who take these young people on, which is a step in the right direction

There are plenty of factories all over the place.. have been for years...setting up apprenticeships is not hard.. the very skilled plumbers and leckies from Poland and such were trained in thier own countries.
This government are lazy... cuts are the only concern and that is the only thing they spend the time doing.

Why does it have to boil down to government every time........have the people not enough wits to get on training course...if that is the case then no wonder we are employing people from the Eastern Bloc...they have the sense to get up and stir their stumps...get trained in something useful...hey presto they are employable.

The people here want everything on a plate......but to you, they aren't lazy...just disadvantaged. Unsupported by an unsympathetic government.
Mancie get real. It is as much in the interest of the government to get people employed and off benefits as it is to those who are unemployed.

Having people in work means that there are more people paying into the tax system, there is more money circulating...earners spend on goods and services......this is how stagnation is prevented. It is very much in the interest of financial stability to get the distance between the unemployment figures and the inflation figures as close together as is possible.
The current situation in the EU (sorry to bring this in yet again) is certaainly not helping.

Re: The Tories

And no they aren't...you have been listening to the waffle of EdM. He says the government are in danger of over borrowing by 100million pounds.
BBC News - Ed Miliband: Economy is at 'turning point'

Also the figure for public borrowing in September was actually lower than was anticipated at 14.1 billion pounds.
These figures lead analysts to predict that the government is on track to control the deficit and hit their target.

government borrowing was at 63.5billion pounds...which is 7.5 billion pounds down on the same period last year.
These figures were taken from a report on the 21st of October, so they are current.
