Former Labour minister Alan Milburn, whose youth unemployment review is published on Tuesday, wants the government legally bound to offer every young person a job, training or employment support. Those who turn the help down could lose their benefits. He says spending on benefits for young people is 25 times employment support and should fall to two to one, shifting much of £22bn spent yearly.
