<p>The number of young unemployed claimants is continuing to fall. The proportion
of young people (aged 16-24) who are unemployed and not in full time education is
at a new record low of 4.8% and the youth claimant count in Angus has fallen by 40%
since 2010.</p><p> </p><p>As planned, we have also introduced the Youth Obligation
to provide intensive support for 18-21 year olds making a new claim to Universal Credit
full service from April 2017. We are rolling out the Youth Obligation in line with
the roll-out schedule for Universal Credit full service across Scotland, therefore,
young claimants in Angus will start receiving more intensive support from the Youth
Obligation from November 2017.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p>
