联合副领袖莫丁·阿里在党代会上表示，许多年轻人感到“无聊、绝望和迷失”。
Co-deputy leader Mothin Ali tells the party's conference many young people are "bored, desperate and lost".
凯特·瓦纳尔报道：根据绿党公布的一项新提案，年轻人离开教育或培训体系后四个月内，将获得一份为期两年的保障就业。
By Kate Whannel Young people would be offered a guaranteed two-year job within four months of leaving education or training, under a new proposal unveiled by the Green Party.
在布莱顿举行的党代会上，联合副领袖莫丁·阿里宣布了这一政策。他表示，有100万年轻人处于失业、脱离培训或教育状态，他们感到“无聊、绝望和迷失”。
Announcing the policy at the party's conference in Brighton, co-deputy leader Mothin Ali said there were a million "bored, desperate and lost" young people who were out of work, training or education.
根据该计划，年轻人将获得私营部门的职位，而政府将支付他们一半的薪水。
Under the proposed scheme, youngsters would be offered posts in the private sector, with the government paying half their salary.
绿党尚未明确该政策的预算，但主张此举将减少福利支出，并通过就业增加税收收入。
The Greens have not specified a budget for the policy, but have argued it would reduce spending on welfare and boost tax receipts from employment.
该党表示，计划初期将优先在年轻人就业机会最少的地区实施，并提到了罗瑟汉姆、卡雷迪吉昂、纽卡斯尔-安德-莱姆、布罗克斯托和南斯塔福德郡等地，最终目标是将其推广至全国。该党称，雇主将免于缴纳国家保险，但必须提供岗位内的培训。
The party says it would initially target the plan in areas with the fewest jobs openings for young people, citing Rotherham, Ceredigion, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Broxtowe and South Staffordshire, with an ambition to roll it out nationwide. Employers would be exempt from paying National Insurance contributions, but would have to provide in-job training, the party says.
该党试图将这一计划描绘得比政府自身的方案更具雄心。政府的方案为那些求职18个月的福利领取者提供为期六个月的就业补贴。
The party is seeking to pitch the plan as more ambitious than the government's own scheme, which subsidises six-month job placements for benefit claimants who have been looking for work for 18 months.
阿里还批评了此前曾提出，若年轻人拒绝该计划中的职位，可能会被取消福利资格的部长们。他对活动家们说：“以削减普遍信用福利来威胁年轻人，除非他们接受短期工作实习——这根本不是什么青年战略。”他补充道：“工薪阶层的孩子应该能够拥有梦想。但更重要的是，他们应该真正有机会将这些梦想变为现实。”
Ali also criticised ministers for previously suggesting youngsters refusing a role under that scheme could lose access to benefits, telling activists: "Threatening young people with cuts to Universal Credit if they don't accept short-term work placements - that's not a youth strategy." He added: "Working class kids should be able to dream. But more than dream, they should have a genuine chance of making those dreams a reality.
自新冠疫情以来，16至24岁中未就业、未接受教育或培训的人数持续上升，目前已接近100万。
The number of 16-24-year-olds who are not in employment, education or training has been rising since the Covid pandemic, with figures reaching almost one million.
前工党大臣艾伦·米尔伯恩就这一问题撰写的一份备受期待的报告预计将于今年秋季发布。
A long-awaited report into the problem by former Labour minister Alan Milburn is expected to be published this autumn.
在她在会议上的演讲中，阿里同为副领袖的雷切尔·米尔沃德表示，绿党将立即将泰晤士水务公司和东南水务公司重新收归公有。
In her own speech to the conference, Ali's fellow co-deputy leader Rachel Millward said the Greens would immediately bring both Thames Water and South East Water back into public ownership.
她认为，这可以在不向股东支付补偿的情况下实现，并指出供水问题和新水库的缺乏是主要原因。
She argued this could be done without paying compensation to shareholders, pointing to water supply problems and a lack of new reservoirs.
安迪·伯纳姆已承诺将水务行业置于更严格的公共控制之下，但尚未宣布任何国有化水务公司的计划。
Andy Burnham has promised to bring water under greater public control, but has stopped short of announcing plans to nationalise any water companies.
米尔沃德在会议上表示，首相“犯了错误”，他的“十年温和威胁和模糊控制计划并不足够”。
Millward told the conference the prime minister was "making a mistake" and his "10-year plan of gentle threats and vague notions of control is not enough".
她说：“我们现在就需要公共所有，而且我们已经具备实现这一目标所需的一切工具。”
"We need public ownership now, and we have all the tools we need to make it happen," she said.
东南水务公司表示：“我们专注于在未来五年内投资19亿英镑用于本地基础设施和韧性建设，以兑现我们的承诺。”
South East Water said it was "focused on delivering on our commitments by investing £1.9 billion into local infrastructure and resilience over the next five years.
“我们支持与我们所服务的社区密切合作，并对他们负责，以便能为客户提供最优质的服务。”泰晤士水务公司已被联系以获取回应。以了解威斯敏斯特及其之外的内部运作。
"We support working closely with the communities we serve and are accountable to, so that we can provide the best possible service for customers". Thames Water has been approached for a response.
