Establish a "First Job" Tax break for Young Workers

Petition Details

I would like the government to introduce a "First Job" Tax break for young people (18-25) entering the workforce.

Additional Information

I think this would help reduce youth unemployment, and encourage the transition from education to the workforce.

I believe that young people often struggle to enter the job market due to the high cost of living, and that despite wanting to work, many feel unable to due to financial pressure.

I think this would directly address youth unemployment and the financial pressures that come with starting a career. I think it would help young people gain work experience and financial independence while easing the transition into the workforce.

I think this move would empower young people, and help ease skill shortages in key industries.
