劳拉·库恩斯伯格撰文 一份关于青年失业的重要评报告作者告诉BBC，年轻人应在法律上获得工作、培训或就业支持的保障。
By Laura Kuenssberg Young people should have a legal guarantee of a job, training or employment support, the author of a major review of youth unemployment has told the BBC.
前工党部长艾伦·米尔本将于周二公布其关于福利和青年问题的提案。他表示，拒绝接受帮助的年轻人可能会失去福利。
Alan Milburn, the former Labour minister whose proposals on welfare and young people will be unveiled on Tuesday, said those who refuse to take up the help could lose their benefits.
在周日播出的采访中，米尔本呼吁政府支出发生根本性转变，从针对年轻人的福利转向支持他们就业的措施。
In an interview to be broadcast on Sunday, Milburn called for a radical shift in government spending away from benefits for young people to measures that support them into work.
他声称，针对年轻人的福利支出是就业支持支出的25倍，并认为这一比例应调整为二比一。
He claims spending on benefits for young people is 25 times as much as spending on employment support, and believes the ratio should shift to two to one.
这将意味着大幅削减福利支出，并为培训、教育或其他形式的支持投入大量额外的纳税人资金。
That would mean significant cuts to benefit spending and significant extra taxpayers' cash for training, education or other forms of support.
米尔本说：“天平倾斜得太远了，从这一端到那一端——25比1，我们可以把一切调整到2比1。”
Milburn said "the pendulum's swung far too far from the one to the other - £25 to one, and we can take everything to £2 to one".
他补充道：“要做到这一点，我们必须投资，减少在福利上的投入，所以我们必须减少福利支出。”这位前议员承认，这将意味着一些年轻人失去福利，但他认为体制应专注于帮助人们就业，而不是让他们依赖福利。
He added: "To do that, we've got to invest, less in benefits, so we've got to be paying out less in benefits." The former MP acknowledged that would mean some young people losing out on benefits, arguing the system should focus on helping people into work rather than keeping them dependent on welfare.
米尔本表示，政府每年已花费220亿英镑支持处于经济非活跃状态的年轻人，这笔钱需要以不同方式花费。
Milburn said the government is already spending £22bn a year supporting young people who are economically inactive, and that money needs to be spent differently.
他已表示，25岁以下人群不应再能申领某些健康福利——个人独立津贴和普惠金的健康要素。
He has already said that the under 25s should no longer be able to claim some health benefits – the personal independence payment and the health element of Universal Credit.
在另一项重大宣布中，米尔本谈到了他所谓的针对年轻人的“机会保障”提案。这将赋予政府法定义务，确保年轻人能获得通往就业的途径。
In his other major announcement, Milburn spoke of the proposal he calls an "opportunity guarantee" for young people. This would put a legal duty on government to ensure young people have access to a route into employment.
他说：“这应该是对年轻人的一项保障。因为目前他们唯一的保障只有一件很简单的事，就是领取福利。那算什么样的生活？”这种“机会保障”运作方式可能类似于地方政府依法有责任为无家可归者提供住宿或建议，或为受监护儿童提供住所。
He said: "It should be a guarantee for a young person. Because at the moment the only guarantee they've got is a very simple thing. To get a benefit. What sort of life is that?" The "opportunity guarantee" might work similarly to the way that councils have a legal responsibility to offer homeless people accommodation or advice, or accommodate children in care.
米尔本认为，以往的就业计划都是临时性的，并表示需要一项永久性的法定权利，以解决青少年既不在校就读、也不就业、也不接受培训这一长期存在的问题。
Milburn argues previous employment schemes have been temporary, and says a permanent legal entitlement is needed to tackle the long-running problem of young people not in education, employment or training.
预计政府将总体上欢迎这些建议，完整报告将于周二发布，议会将发表声明，草案法律预计将于明年初提交。
The government is expected broadly to welcome the proposals, which will be published in full on Tuesday, with a statement in Parliament and draft laws early next year.
根据国家统计局的最新数据，英国近100万年轻人既不就业、也不在校就读、也不接受培训——即所谓的“尼特族”。“分水岭时刻”首相安迪·伯纳姆将米尔本即将发布的报告描述为一个“分水岭时刻”，但未承诺全面落实其建议。
Almost one million young people in the UK are not in employment, education or training - otherwise known as Neet - according to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics. 'Watershed moment' Prime Minister Andy Burnham has described Milburn's forthcoming report as a "watershed moment," but stopped short of committing to implementing its recommendations in full.
当被问及预计所需的大量前期投资时，伯纳姆还坚称，支付改革费用不意味着“更多资金”，而是政府“换一种花法”。
Burnham also insisted paying for the reforms would not mean "more money" but "spending differently" in government when pressed on the large upfront investment they are expected to require.
当被问及是否会全盘接受这份在政治上敏感的报告时，伯纳姆拒绝给出那种“全盘保证”。
Asked whether he would accept the politically sensitive report in full, Burnham declined to provide that "blanket assurance".
周四，他在访问都柏林期间对记者说：“我们必须等到报告发布。这是一份范围广泛的报告，显然我们将在下周阐述我们的回应。
Speaking to reporters in a trip to Dublin on Thursday, he said: "We will have to wait until the report is published. It's a wide-ranging report, and obviously we'll set out our response next week.
“但我认为，把这份报告看作是一个相当重要的分水岭时刻，对于我们如何思考支持年轻人、支持年轻人就业，这一点真的很重要。”保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺克此前曾表示，政府不应在就业计划上花费“大量时间”，她称这最终会失败。
"But I think it's really important to see the report as quite a watershed moment I think in terms of how we think about supporting young people and supporting young people into work." Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has previously said the government should not be spending "lots of time" on employment schemes, which she said would ultimately fail.
她的政党和英国改革党主张大幅削减福利，包括以此为增加国防开支提供资金。
Her party and Reform UK have argued for significant cuts to welfare, including to fund a boost to defence.
英国改革党经济事务发言人罗伯特·詹里克表示：“除非伯纳姆立即采取行动，否则这次审查毫无意义。
Reform economy spokesman Robert Jenrick said: "This review is pointless unless we get action from Burnham straight away.
“在青年福利账单下降之前，这种情况再持续10年是不对的。”自由民主党希望政府推出100小时工作经验保障，并为每位年轻人配备一名职业教练。他们认为，这将使年轻人在离开学校前掌握最佳技能。
"It cannot be right that this continues for another 10 years before the youth benefits bill comes down." The Liberal Democrats want the government to introduce a 100-hour work experience guarantee and a careers coach for every young person. They believe this would equip youngsters with the best possible skills before they leave school.
绿党警告不要“妖魔化”年轻人和残疾人，并希望政府解决“针对他们的结构性不平等”问题。
The Green Party has warned against "demonising" young and disabled people and wants the government to address the "structural inequalities stacked against them".
