Abstract
The rapid rise of youth unemployment in Britain in the first half of the 1970s (Table 1.1, above) led to a succession of ameliorative policies. The Youth Training Scheme (YTS) stands in the centre of this line of policy development. Introduced in 1983 as direct successor to the Work Experience Programme (1976–8) and the Youth Opportunities Programme (1978–83), YTS was extended in 1986 from a one- to a two-year programme, and reconstituted in 1990 as (New) Youth Training. YTS has also inspired parallel schemes for older workers, primarily young adults, including the Job Training Scheme of 1986–7 (JTS) and Employment Training (ET, 1988-).
