Occupy protest outside Davos meeting |
Ian Pattison, Youth Fight for Jobs: So called world leaders are meeting in Davos this week.
We know the plight of being out of work, we don’t need super-rich politicians to lecture us about it. In Britain youth unemployment is a daily nightmare, and it’s even worse in Greece and Spain. Today more young Spaniards are out of work (51.4%), than in a job.
EU leaders have said they might use €22 billion to tackle the crisis of rising youth unemployment. What are we going to get for our money? Tory chancellor George Osborne has called on other world leaders to create jobs to tackle youth unemployment.

On November the 5th, the Jarrow Marchers will arrive in London. They will have marched 330 miles from the North East, demanding, jobs, education and a decent future! Join the mass rally central London that will greet them.
On 1 October, Youth Fight for Jobs (YFJ) activists start a 330 mile march from Jarrow to London. Why? Because we've had enough, and we know that it doesn't have to be this way.
Why should we let pro-big business politicians get away with condemning the young and the unemployed as a ‘feral underclass’? Why should millions of public sector workers have to strike against working longer while the job rejection letters pile up for a generation?
While universities spend millions on rebranding, new students have to live in caravans and temporary accommodation because there aren’t enough affordable halls. The government has cut EMA student payments to save a measly £500 million but fritters away huge amounts on consultants and PFI schemes.
