WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 9th OCTOBER 2007
Question
Will the Minister inform members of the number of young people under 21 registered as unemployed as at 1st September 2007 and each of the preceding five years?
Answer
I am afraid that I cannot give figures for people registering as unemployed with the Department who are under the age of 21 as at 1st September. The mechanism for recording unemployment statistics works on age bands and I can give figures for people under 24 for the past five years at the end of August each year.

My only comments on these figures are that they may not be typical of youth unemployment as they relate to the summer months and may be influenced by seasonal work and the relatively large number of students looking for work. Monthly averages for the years in question are
