The Greens have proposed offering two-year jobs to unemployed people aged under 24, in a policy announcement made at the party’s conference.
Mothin Ali, the party’s co-deputy leader, told delegates that many young people were “bored, desperate and lost”. The proposal would provide two-year employment opportunities for those under 24 who are currently out of work.
The material supplied does not set out how many jobs would be created, what type of work would be offered or how the scheme would be funded. It also does not provide further details about eligibility or when the proposal could be introduced.
The proposal was presented to the party conference, with further practical details yet to be provided.
