Creating jobs in the Arts
In 2009 the UK government devised the Future Jobs Fund with the aim to create 170,000 new jobs, primarily for 18-24 year olds who had been out for work for almost a year. This age group had been hit hard by recession unemployment rates, and the Department of Work and Pensions stated that from early 2010, those aged eighteen to twenty-four who have been looking for work for a year will get an offer of a job, work experience, or training lasting at for six months.
