Companies in the Isle of Man should be given incentives to employ young people, according to Onchan MHK Peter Karran.
His suggestion comes after Wednesday's unemployment figures showed around 300 of them classed as 'NEETs', or Not in Education, Employment or Training.
They aren't included in the 'official' jobless total, which currently stands at 822.
Mr Karran is calling for the relevant government departments to take action:
TT 'massive' for hospitality industry
Local businesses prepare for race week
Hopes summer VAT cuts will ease cost of living pressures for families and businesses
IoM Government mirrors UK action
'The TT is our crown jewel' says caterer
Hospitality vendors praise look and atmosphere of The Grandstand
Construction sector facing 'perfect storm'
Rising fuel prices and skills shortage among challenges for Island's builders
