How to Solve Britain’s Youth Unemployment Crisis
What was said
"if we're not careful on PIP alone, the numbers of young people getting PIP are going to quadruple over the course of 25 years to the year 2037."
Alan Milburn says that, on current trends, the number of young people receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP) could quadruple by 2037. He raises the projection while arguing the welfare system should be redesigned to provide more structured support for participation in work or training for those able to do so.
