The Jobs Guarantee is a good offer, but its eligibility is too tight and will limit its impact. We are concerned about the long-term impact on a young person of being unemployed for 18 months and that waiting a year and a half before offering a work placement risks undermining the benefits of the scheme. DWP should undertake and publish a cost-benefit analysis for the Jobs Guarantee. This analysis should test different options for how long someone is unemployed before the scheme kicks in and show how DWP arrived at an 18-month period. We are also concerned that the scheme excludes the 44% of NEETs who are not claiming benefits. DWP should develop options for NEETs outside the benefits system to take part in the Jobs Guarantee.
