Read the original article on dailymail.com (opens in a new tab)The Daily Mail reports that the Department for Work and Pensions will cut the wait for its youth jobs scheme from 18 months to 12 for under-25s on Universal Credit, alongside Alan Milburn's forthcoming review. It attributes the scheme's details and funding to officials, explains what the 'guarantee' does and does not mean, and quotes the government, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“The DWP's existing scheme is called the 'jobs guarantee' but does not include a legal duty.”
The Mail tells the reader plainly that the 'guarantee' in the headline is a scheme name, not a legal right. A reader cannot mistake the scare-quoted word for an enforceable entitlement.
“promises under-25s on Universal Credit a fully funded, six-month job matched to their skills”
The Mail spells out that the offer is a six-month funded placement, not a permanent job. This gives the reader the real limits of what the headline calls a guaranteed job.
“The Liberal Democrats said the six-month offering was worth 'very little' without a job at the end of it.”
The Mail gives space to criticism of the scheme from two opposition parties, not only the government's announcement. The reader hears the main objections and the minister's case side by side.
