“Kickstart is a good start, but it’s far from enough. In recessionary times, the private sector simply cannot provide the scale of support needed right now to avoid a lost generation. It’s critical we throw our arms around young people and invest at scale to provide meaningful training and youth-led development opportunities and a dedicated mentor, underpinned by the support of a guaranteed wage. Failure to do so, and fast, will blight a generation.”
