#werenotleaving Youth Guarantee must not be used as justification to cuts for welfare payments The National Youth Council of Ireland has argued that the cut to unemployment benefits will accelerate youth emigration, and cause greater hardship for young people who remain in the country. They have also expressed that the €14 million investment in the youth guarantee in the 2014 Budget is insufficient. The European Youth Forum objects to the discriminatory practice of lowering unemployment benefits for young people. This measure can in no way be justified in the context of implementing the youth guarantee. The Forum believes that a core element of the youth guarantee is showing a commitment to young people, providing youth-friendly public employment services, and reaching out to disadvantaged and marginalised youth. The Youth Forum calls upon the Irish government to reconsider this policy in order to prevent young people from being pushed further into poverty and social exclusion. intranet.youthforum.org/newsletters/node/76942
