What Can Dublin Teach Us? Milburn Goes on a Quest to Solve Britain's Youth Jobs Crisis The visit to Dublin by former UK cabinet minister Alan Milburn marks a welcome attempt to tackle Britain's youth jobs crisis.
The trip, which includes officials, charity leaders, and business representatives, aims to identify the factors behind Ireland's significant reduction in youth unemployment rates.
Ireland's achievement is impressive: its Neet (not in education, employment, or training) rate has plummeted to 6. 1% last year, compared to the UK's rise from 11. 1% to 12. 8%.
