of the benefits system on young people&#8217;s employment choices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It said, for example, single parents with a disabled child could lose up to \u00a3340 per week in benefits if their child started an apprenticeship, exceeding the expected apprenticeship salary of \u00a3258 per week. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Because they are classed as paid employment, benefit payments are reduced to households where young people take on apprenticeships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The committee said the system was hampering government efforts to reduce the number of young people not in education, employment or training (Neet).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In a recent report, former Health Secretary Alan Milburn warned that one in six young people could be Neet in the next five years unless urgent action is taken.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Offical figures show more than a million people aged 16 to 24 are currently Neet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The government said its new bursary would remove a barrier to young people taking on apprenticeships, allowing them to &#8220;earn and learn&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden said: &#8220;By providing bursaries to those who need them most and fully funding apprenticeship training, we are making sure cost is not the reason someone misses out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It is part of a wider package of support for apprenticeships, including funding for apprenticeship training for under-25s and additional support for employers taking on apprentices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he is &#8220;on a mission&#8221; to reduce the number of Neets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The trend is rising at the moment, so the first thing I&#8217;ve got to do is to stop that rise,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">As he continues a flurry of early policy announcements, Burnham on Tuesday set out plans to strike a balance in the education system between prioritising academic and technical skills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
