Young and jobless: Is the government doing enough to help record numbers of unemployed 16-24 year-olds into work? The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, has called youth unemployment 'an economic waste and a slow burn social disaster'. He's promised a billion pounds to give work experience and training to some of the million young people out of work. There'll be cash incentives for employers willing to give a 6-month job to unemployed youngsters, thousands more apprenticeships and a quarter of a million unpaid work placements. We'll get more details tomorrow when the Chancellor delivers his Autumn Statement. But will these measures be enough to tackle the problem? If you're an employer, would subsidised wages encourage you to take on a jobless teenager? Are work placements a short-term fix - with no guarantee they'll lead to a permanent job? Or, if you're out of work, is this the lifeline you need? The chance for on-the-job experience that could lead to full-time paid employment? Call You and Yours with Julian Worricker.
