 CBI RESPONDS TO GOVERNMENT’S YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT PACKAGE

The CBI today (Friday) responded to the Government’s ‘Youth Contract’ package of measures to tackle youth unemployment.

John Cridland, CBI Director-General, said:

"This is good news for young people up and down the country.

"We're pleased that the Government has developed our idea to incentivise businesses to take on the young unemployed.

"It will encourage firms to take a gamble on a young inexperienced person and help tackle the scourge of youth unemployment."
