"UK Government Unveils Ambitious Plan to Revitalize Youth Employment Amid 'Quiet Crisis' Warning. In a bid to address a growing concern over the country's neglected youth, the UK government is set to expand its youth work experience and training schemes. Following a scathing critique by former minister Alan Milburn, who revealed that Britain spends £25 on benefits for every £1 invested in helping young people into work, Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden will announce plans to create 300,000 additional work placements over the next three years.
