Committee Room 2, Palace of Estminster

At 4.15pm:

  • Professor Sue Maguire, University of Warwick

The academic experts will be asked by the Committee about what is the most pressing action that’s needed to address youth joblessness.

Likely questions

They will also be interviewed on other relevant areas to the investigation, including:

  • How bad is youth unemployment in Europe, and what impact is it having?
  • What sorts of actions are likely to be most effective in tackling youth unemployment, and what conditions are needed for them to work?
  • What lessons we can learn from different countries? and
  • How employers can be part of the solution to tackle youth unemployment?
