Christopher Luxon: National Leader convinced youth unemployment plan will get more young people on the right path
Manage episode 336964176 series 2098285
National Leader Christopher Luxon is convinced his new youth unemployment plan will get more young people on the right path.
The plan would see under-25s given financial incentives for finding jobs and staying employed and handed penalties if they don't take part.
The Government says the plan demonises young people and over-simplifies complex issues.
But Luxon told Mike Hosking the number of young people on the Jobseeker benefit has doubled, during a time when employers are crying out for workers.
He says if people don't get off the benefit before they're 20, they're likely to stay on the benefit throughout their 20s.
