make it compulsory for all school leavers to undertake national service. this will help alleviate unemployment,teach youngsters self respect and discipline whilst also teaching valuable life skills.
This would also be less of a burden for the economy and it would be part of national service not to be depolyed outside of the UK.
being utilised for community work such as clean ups, helping to keep our communities safer.
By giving them skills that they can use when they complete their service would mean that they learn along the way.
