Labour Unveils Plan to Combat Youth Unemployment and Reform Benefits System

The party pledges to reduce the number of young people out of work, education, or training by introducing new measures and support services.

Labour's shadow work and pensions secretary, Liz Kendall, announces a comprehensive plan to address youth unemployment and the benefits system.
The plan includes recruiting 8,500 mental health professionals, reforming the apprenticeship levy, and introducing tougher measures on universal credit.
Labour aims to reduce the number of young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET) by providing better support and opportunities.
The party promises to invest in young people's futures by offering chances and choices, emphasizing the importance of work and training.
Labour's approach contrasts with the Conservatives' handling of the economy and worklessness, aiming to appeal to voters with a focus on fiscal responsibility and support for working families.
