Building Britain’s Recovery: Achieving Full Employment

Over 100,000 new opportunities for young people will mean that everyone under 25 will be guaranteed a job, training or work experience after six months unemployment, announced Work and Pensions Secretary Yvette Cooper today. She also announced a guarantee that every person on benefits for at least six months, whatever their age, would be at least £40 a week better off when moving into work. This new back to work credit will guarantee work pays.

This is the next step in the reform of the welfare system to make sure work pays and help people off benefits and into jobs, reforms which are supported by major changes to Housing Benefit also published today. The White Paper “Building Britain’s Recovery: Achieving Full Employment” sets out a £400 million programme over the next 18 months, including £300 million to tackle youth unemployment.
