Young People and Economic Growth

The motion

That the Parliament believes that recruiting young people makes good business sense and is crucial to sustainable economic growth; notes that the employers’ survey carried out by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills showed that the majority of employers in Scotland that recruited a young person straight from school, college or university were satisfied with their skills; welcomes the £25 million of European Structural Funds announced on 9 May 2012 to support youth employment over the next two years, and agrees that this should be focused on supporting young people into work in small and medium-sized businesses.
