Ministers want to create 200,000 jobs and are pledging £1bn in funding for several initiatives.

Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden is set to announce the Youth Jobs Grant today. Some 60,000 people are expected to be supported by the proposals. McFadden said the new measures would giving "life-changing opportunities to young people" that will "significantly reverse the increase we inherited in those not in education, employment or training."
