Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 March 2026

Debate

Youth Unemployment

Contribution

My Lords, like others, I warmly welcome the Government’s ambitious new youth employment programme. Can my noble friend the Minister say what targeted measures she will take to address the acute challenges faced by boys? They are significantly more likely to be NEET, to underperform at school and to struggle with the transition into employment. How will these proposals ensure that boys, who are at the greatest risk of long-term worklessness, are effectively reached and supported in the transition to work?
