Clegg: Youth Contracts will 'get you earning'

We're determined to tackle youth unemployment and set young people on the path to work before long-term damage is done.

Today is a major moment for Britain's unemployed young people. The message is clear - if you're under 25 and don't have a job, we are putting the money in to get you earning or learning through the Youth Contract. If you want to work or train, then we - together with businesses - will help you.
