It's good to see you have agreed, Keith.
It will need some legislation in Parliament, and will be part of the Localism Conception.
Have been working on this for years.

Alexander D wrote:A department called the County Economic Administration Board, to be part of Local Gov., would have the authority to enhance work-opportunities for young people by supplying training courses and liaising with local employers.
Must be introduced soon, will come, cannot be stopped!
Strange when you google "County Economic Administration Board" there are only 3 links and their are to your own blog from September 2011 !!!
Sounds like something of your own making

The CEAB is a decent enough proposal. It is a good thing to commit your views to print Alex, I hope you are heartened by what the LGA is pushing for.

Isn't there a difference between CAEB (from Tom) and CEAB (from Alexander) ?

Roger, dear Roger. Let us not get bogged down and mired over what to call it. Let us rather be uplifted that a common methodology has been proposed to address a common problem.
I worked hard, in the above, to remove the word 'solution', for that word appended to an incomprehensible array of initials, always to contain the letter 'X', is employed to convey that an instant fix has been deployed.
All too often the 'instant fix' is in the statistics, cash flow and rhetorical outpourings from Parliament on down, but seldom down to the unemployed themselves.
Across the country we have a swathe of senior souls who have the knowledge and experience of doing many things that have fallen out of favour, and have the habit of going out to work, but are left idle. And we have a growing number of youthful souls who could benefit in so many ways from association with these, their elders.
So what, that the focus groups, the consultants and 'industry' lobbyists each and all would rather have a sub-class and a whipping boy of supposed "skivers", and that the output from such social/industrial exchanges does never tend to supply a world ravenous for widgets with the very stuff they crave, condemning all and sundry to enforced idleness avails us not at all.
Unless, of course, the old ways of cross-condemnation are the only tools in the Party Political box come the Election.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

Coalition at fault for rise in inflation.says BOE King.
High Utility bills and Tuition fees are an `own goal`by government.
High inflation rate will last until 2016 worsening the burden on households.

Ministers accused of downplaying income in measure of child poverty.Money is central factor......Duncan Smith argues
otherwise.
The government's desire to alter the official definition of child poverty risks deliberately downplaying the importance of money just as a series of government policies will reduce the incomes of poor families, a group of senior academics warn.
A consultation on how to measure child poverty more accurately that was launched last November, seeking input from charities and experts into "better measures of child poverty", comes to an end on Friday. The government believes that a wider definition of what constitutes poverty will give a better picture of what it means to "grow up experiencing deep disadvantage".
The letter, signed by some of the country's leading academics in this field, agrees that in addition to the current measures used to count the number of children living in poverty, it would be "helpful to track what is happening to the factors that lead to poverty and the barriers to children's life chances".
But they warn: "It does not make sense to combine all of these into a single measure. To do so would open up the government to the accusation that it aims to dilute the importance of income in monitoring the extent of 'poverty' at precisely the time that many of its policies will be reducing the real incomes of poor families."
Professor Jonathan Bradshaw, the lead consultant on the UK's contribution to Unicef's Child Well-Being report, said he believed that the government was "trying to move the goalposts" at a time when child poverty was increasing rapidly.
