NewzBritish Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged to guarantee employment and educational opportunities for young people in the United Kingdom in order to address what he described as a moral failure and economic catastrophe.
The initiative targets the crisis of the so-called 'neeps' or 'ninis'—youths who are neither in education, employment, nor training—seeking to integrate them into the workforce and economy.
The announcement was reported from London on October 19, framing the youth unemployment and disengagement issue as both an urgent economic challenge and a significant moral duty for the government.
