The reasons for the New Deal are to:
- Reduce Benefit Fraud – If Jobseekers aren’t available in the week for work they aren’t able to defraud the system
- Reduce Crime – If Jobseekers are off the streets then crime is eradicated
- Reduce NEET – Jobseekers are classified as “in training” while on New Deal courses
- Increase Sanctions – In just 3 months in September 2000 there were 4,519 imposed sanctions
- Support the temporary job market – All the money is in temporary job recruitment agencies…
The result actually is in increased fraud, increased crime and increased NEET.
