BUSINESSES could have a new reason to employ young people after the government proposed plans to pay part of their wage.
The Junta wants to create a new job pool for university and professional training graduates and pay €400 of their salary if they are hired.
The incentive is part of the government’s €167.5million youth employment plan which has already been approved.
It applies to qualified people up to the age of 35.
The Junta’s €500million employment package hopes to create 42,000 new jobs this year.
Spain’s youth unemployment rate is currently at a record high of 55%, the second highest in Europe following Greece.
What about the ones who weren’t bright enough to go to university, do they just get forgotten about.
Or if you’re over 35… goodbye.
