Labour-Plaid government failing young people in Wales report published by the Princes' Trust, "Destined for the Dole" states 1 in 6 young people on benefits

August 11, 2010 11:17 AM

Commenting on today's report published by the Princes' Trust, Destined for the Dole, Eleanor Burnham, Welsh Liberal Democrat Shadow Minister for Children and Young People said:

"Sadly, this report does not come as a surprise. It is shocking that one in six young people in Wales expect to end up on benefits because other people around them have.

"Just last month, it was confirmed that Wales' percentage of young people not in education, employment or training remains higher than in England.

"This report is yet another shocking indictment of Labour-Plaid government's inability to drive real change. Their refusal to face up to the failings of their policies mean that reports like these are likely to become even more regular."
