MPs warn Tories to rethink ‘youth job fund’
A committee of MPs has warned the government that ending the Future Jobs Fund early risks leaving youths in long-term unemployment.
The Work and Pensions Committee made 23 recommendations to the government after studying its plan to end the scheme one year early.
The £1bn fund will close in March, with the replacement Work Programme not due in place until June.
The committee said proper transitional arrangements should be arranged.
The Future Jobs Fund was created by the previous Labour Government in response to rising youth unemployment at the time of the credit crisis
