Random Bill
Summary of a randomly selected bill, powered by AnyModel.Jobs Guarantee Scheme (Research) Bill
Current Stage: 2nd reading
Last updated: 15/05/2014
Overview
This bill mandates the UK Secretary of State to conduct research into the feasibility of a "Jobs Guarantee Scheme." This scheme would aim to provide guaranteed employment for young adults (18-24) and long-term unemployed individuals (25+) who have been claiming Jobseeker's Allowance for a significant period.
Description
The bill requires the Secretary of State to undertake a research program investigating the merits of a jobs guarantee scheme. This scheme would target two groups:
- Those aged 18-24 who have claimed Jobseeker's Allowance for one or two years.
- Those aged 25 and over who have claimed Jobseeker's Allowance for one or two years.
The research can involve data analysis, information gathering, and expert consultation. The Secretary of State must submit a report to Parliament detailing the research findings within six months of completion. The "Jobseeker's Allowance" definition is as per the Jobseekers Act 1995 (amended by the Welfare Reform Act 2012).
Government Spending
The bill states that any expenditure incurred by the Secretary of State in conducting the research, and any increased spending resulting from this act, will be funded from money provided by Parliament. No specific figures are provided in the bill itself.
Groups Affected
The main groups affected are:
- Young adults (18-24) and long-term unemployed individuals (25+): This bill directly affects them as the potential beneficiaries of the proposed Jobs Guarantee Scheme. The research could influence future policy related to their employment prospects.
- Researchers and experts: Individuals and organizations may be contracted to conduct or contribute to the research, impacting their employment and funding.
- Government departments: The Department for Work and Pensions and potentially other government bodies will be involved in the research, affecting their workload and resource allocation.
- Taxpayers: As the research will be publicly funded, taxpayers will bear the cost, albeit the exact amount remains unspecified.
