WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 16th JUNE 2009
Question
What steps, if any, will the Minister be taking to obtain a more accurate picture of the rate of youth unemployment?
Answer
The Chief Minister responded to a question (4555) from Deputy Higgins on 2nd June 2009, as follows:
"Information on people who are registered as unemployed in Jersey is compiled by the Social Security Department. The independent Statistics Unit is currently liaising with this Department in order to produce a monthly publication on registered unemployment in the Island. The first issue will be available as soon as is possible."
I can only reiterate this information and confirm that the Social Security Department is actively working with the Statistics Unit on this project which will include information on youth unemployment.
