To bring into perspective the £53 a week meant to cover all expenses for young people between 16 and 24 in Britain, officially about 22% of these are unemployed.
This is a chosen way of life, chosen by the Government.
The Government wants us - Society - to accept this as normal, inevitable, and doesn't want Society to change the situation to the better. Which means anyone who wants to change the situation cannot do so, as the Government will not allow it.
The Government wants all policies to be imposed in Parliament on the grounds that it was elected.
But the Gov. also employs non-elected advisers, one of whom has recently resigned from 10 Downing Street:
"The departure of Mr Silva, who is in his early 30s, will come as a blow to both Mr Cameron and George Osborne, the Chancellor, who have relied on him to formulate key areas of the Government's economic growth strategy."

Economic policies have failed, there is no economic growth but only decline.
Common-sense policies will probably come about when the world situation has further deteriorated to the extent that there is no other choice but to abandon State-imposed unemployment and to abandon a failed budget system and a failed banking system.
That will happen when people grasp that we need to be producing at home, in our own Country, whatever we can, in order to eat, clothe ourselves, and have access to essential products that needn't be imported. We should only import what we have to.
Until such time, the agony will go on.
