Should priority be given to the younger generaion on help with unemployment?
After hearing the news, that the goverment are setting up unemployment schemes linked to businesses to train 18-24yr olds to get back into the work force, i was happy yet frustrated by this propsal.................happy because the younger generation are the future of the working industry of the future, and frustrated because at 51 and losing my business through the recession after building it up through hard work and determination,do not get the same help for returning back to work... all i recieve is job seekers allowance which is an appaling amount of money to live on per week.

Many companys will be happy. They will hire these kids for less pay. Many people have been at a job along time and are forced into early retirement, because they are making top dollar.

Thank you for your reply, you are right in your answer, i didnt know the scheme ran in Canada also!!!!!
It is a terrible situation if you are unemployed, but the hardest part is getting back into the working group of people.
