Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall announced plans to cut benefits for young people in order to boost military recruitment and reduce unemployment. During a House of Commons discussion, she emphasized the importance of young individuals getting involved in the Armed Forces as a means to secure promising careers. Kendall noted the damaging effects of unemployment on youth prospects. She stated intentions to consult with the Ministry of Defence to operationalize this recruitment strategy, while also launching the £240 million 'Get Britain Working' scheme to provide further support.
Kendall confirmed in the House of Commons there will be cuts in benefits for young people, aiming to encourage 642,000 unemployed youths to join the military.
Kendall stated that being out of work or training when young is damaging for future prospects, hence tougher measures are needed to address youth unemployment.
