<p /> <p /> <p>The youth claimant count has fallen for 21 consecutive months and youth
unemployment has fallen for the past six months.</p><p> </p><p>For people who are
unemployed, our work experience programmes have proved to be effective at helping
young people into work. Over 145,000 have started a work experience placement and
over 46,000 have started a sector based work academy that provides work experience
and pre-employment training. Surveys show that over 40 percent of young people have
reported having had a job since going into a work experience placement or on a sector-based
work academy.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Our new Help to Work Scheme will offer
further tailored in-depth support for the very long term unemployed, and in-work claimants
will receive support to progress within the workplace. Universal Credit will provide
support for working-age people who are in or out of work.</p>
