New Deal for Young People (NDYP) received by far the greatest proportion of New Deal funding (£3.15 billion through to 2002 ). It targeted unemployed youth (aged 18–24) unemployed for 6 months or longer. New Deal 25+ targeted those aged at least 25 years who were unemployed for eighteen months or more.
In April 1998 when NDYP was rolled out nationally, its client group represented eight and half per cent of the claimant count in Great Britain—that are some 119,000 young people who had been registered unemployed for at least six months.[31] Since NDYP was launched in 1998 "youth unemployment has fallen noticeably more quickly compared to that of other age groups".[32] Between 1997 and 2000 unemployment in the NDYP client group fell by 70 per cent; and between 1998, when NDYP was launched, and 2000 by 56 per cent. This compares favourably with the fall in the overall number of 18 to 24 year olds registered unemployed and with the fall in claimant unemployed across all age groups (see Table 2).

No labour government has left unemployment lower than what they found it in history , apart from one administration away back in 1924.
Most recently, Tony Blair’s Labour party entered government in May 1997 with unemployment at 7.2%. By the time the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government took office in May 2010, unemployment had risen to 7.9%. Again, absolute numbers had also risen. |

Tackling poverty Tony Blair had repeatedly promised to halve child poverty by 2010 while campaigning for the 1997 and the 2001 General Elections. In 1997 4.3 million children were living in poor households (34%); this figure rose to 4.4 million in 1998/99 and now stands at 3.8 million (30%) – it is estimated that over half a million children have been lifted out of poverty between 1998/99 and 2007 362009 saw the tenth anniversary of the introduction of the National Minimum Wage (NMW). Since 1999, the country has experienced “record levels of employment and unprecedented consecutive quarters of economic growth”13. But this anniversary coincided with the most violent economic crises the UK has seen for decades, and the decline in economic activity has been much more pronounced than experts had previously anticipated. The 2009 Low Pay Commission (LPC) report on the impact of the national minimum wage on the economy found that it has continued to play a significant role in increasing the wages at the bottom of the pay spine. The minimum wage has also continued to rise relative to both wages and prices. The LPC commissioned a comprehensive research programme that investigated how firms had coped with these additional wage costs, focusing on the period 2003-2006. Small and medium entreprises and businesses (SMEs and SMBs) appear to have adapted to these increases in wage costs by “changing pay structures, removing wage premia, and reducing non-wage costs”14. The LPC research found little evidence to suggest that the regular increases in the national minimum wage had led to reductions in employment or hours worked, or any other alternative measure taken to the detriment of employees. The report concludes that the minimum wage continues to exert overall a mild (not to say limited) influence on the economy The system, introduced in 2003, forms part of wider government policy to provide support to parents returning to work, reduce child poverty and increase financial support for families. The design of the system means that as families' circumstances change, so does (daily) entitlement to tax credits.29 Jun 2023 www.gov.uk › government Child and Working Tax Credits statistics: Provisional awards ... poverty can be measured here. The number of pensioners living in relative poverty fell by over a million from 1997/98 to 2009/10, after housing costs have been factored in. |

Education .Education
From 1996/97 (the year just before Labour were elected) to 2009/10 the amount spent on education increased in real terms by 83% from £56 billion to £103
17We are now going to consider the overall evolution of standards in primary and secondary schools through two main items: the proportion of 11-year-olds reaching Level 4 at the end of Key Stage 2 (Year 6) in English and maths and that of students getting five grades A* to C at GCSEs. There has been an improvement in the number of 11-year-olds reaching Level 4 in English from 63% in 1997 to 81% in 200825. There has been also progress in maths as 62% reached Level 4 in 1997 and 78% did so in 2008. A 1999 target was that 50% of 16-year-olds would obtain 5 GCSEs at grade C or better. It was the case for 45% in 1997 and this rose to 62.4% in 2005. This large rise was overshadowed by the percentage achieving 5 or more grades A* to C at GCSEs including English and mathematics, a statistic which was first given in 2003-4. In 2005, 44% did so and this figure increased to reach 50.7% in 2009

The Pisa report measures education standards among nearly 700,000 15-year-olds worldwide. The report shows a long-term decline in Scotland's performance in reading, maths and science. |

With 50.4% of the population educated to degree-level, Scotland leads Denmark with 48.6%, Finland with 47.5% and Luxembourg with 47.1%. In the UK, Wales has 41% and Northern Ireland has 40.6%. No separate figures for England are offered but the UK has 44.7%. Notably, in the period of SNP-rule, the figure for Scotland has climbed from 36.1% to 50.4%. In 2008, Scotland was 5th. |

must forget this wee gem regarding labours disastrous record in education .......
The facts about the history of tuition fees in Scotland are stark and unarguable:
– in 1997 when Labour came to power, higher education was free.
– the Labour government then introduced fees of £1000 a year across the UK, which meant a four-year degree in Scotland suddenly cost £4000.
– in 2000, the Labour-led Scottish Executive replaced said fees with a “graduate endowment”, meaning that Scottish students paid £2000 retrospectively towards the cost of their education – half of what it had cost them under Labour’s fees system in 1999, but still £2000 more than the £0 they’d been paying in 1997.
In the space of three years, then, while claiming to have “abolished” tuition fees, Labour had in fact increased the cost of a degree in Scotland from zero to £2000. Those are the cold, hard, unyielding truths. |

Your on about after the world wide recession . re read my post.
No labour government has left unemployment lower than what they found it in history , apart from one administration away back in 1924.That's a lie Unemployment in 1946 was 477,000 (2.04%) – i.e. incredibly low. When Labour left office in 1951, unemployment stood at 231,000 (1.57%) – also a decrease. Unemployment stood at 1.98 million when New Labour assumed office in 1997, and 2.5 million when it departed in 2010. However, Johnson’s gratification must surely be caught mid-flow when he realises that, from until the financial crash in 2008, unemployment was consistently below its 1997 level. Thus, the Conservatives have failed to acknowledge two separate Labour administrations that fostered declining unemployment. If you really want to.talk about historic unemployment. Unemployment had peaked at nearly 3,300,000 in 1984, but had fallen below 3,000,000 by June 1987, in early 1989 it fell below 2,000,000 and by December 1989 it stood at just over 1,600,000. en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki Premiership of Margaret Thatcher - Wikipedia |
