The secretary general of Socialist Youth in Lorca, Ana Belén Hilario, today called on the PP mayor, Francisco Jodar, to address urgently the development of an emergency plan against youth unemployment "that is part of a strategy for the City and which is agreed between the Social Partners and Local Government. "

Hilary explained that the unemployment rate among youths aged 20 to 35 years over 45% in the town, rising to 53.4% in the case of persons under 40 years.

This means that "almost half of young people who want work can not do it," said Hilario.

It is a figure well above the state average (39%) and more than double the European rate (21%), explained the young Socialist leader, who said it was "not normal" Lorca does not have a Local Plan youth employment.

For Hilary, in Lorca "We have a serious problem with the large number of young people left school and are now unemployed and without a vocational qualification that will work."

Therefore called for increased measures to promote job creation among the youth of the municipality.

In this regard, the secretary general of Socialist Youth in Lorca criticized from the municipal government team of PP is limited to spending thousands of dollars on training courses that have clearly not been successful because the numbers of unemployed do not descend " .

Therefore, the councilman said Jobs, Eulalia Ibarra, "has failed miserably" and that "there has five ways to improve this problem should have been a priority for her."

To Hilario is vital that young people are able to access their first job, as most companies want experience.

He also assured the importance of promoting self-employment, supporting young entrepreneurs because "a young man who creates a company is in turn generating more jobs."
