More than 40 of the UK’s leading charities have warned ministers against(警告部长们不要……) imposing(强加;实施) tougher benefit sanctions(制裁;惩罚性措施) or cuts on disabled young people, as the government considers how to encourage more young people into work.
英国40多家主要慈善机构警告部长们,不要对残疾青年实施更严厉的福利制裁或削减,因为政府正在考虑如何鼓励更多年轻人就业。
The charities raised concerns that an imminent review of young people and work by Alan Milburn could bring in stricter eligibility rules for keeping disability benefits – or remove them altogether – as part of a wider plan to boost flagging youth job rates.(慈善机构担心,米尔本即将进行的审查可能引入更严格的福利资格规则,甚至完全取消福利。)
慈善机构担心,艾伦·米尔本即将对青年与就业进行的审查可能会引入更严格的残疾福利资格规则,甚至完全取消这些福利,作为提振低迷青年就业率的更广泛计划的一部分。
Nearly 1 million 16- to 24-year-olds in the UK are classed(归类为) as Neet(尼特族,指未就业、未受教育或培训的年轻人) (not in employment, education or training). Milburn has warned this is economically unsustainable(不可持续的) and disastrous for a generation of young people.
英国有近100万16至24岁的年轻人被归类为“尼特族”(未就业、未受教育或未接受培训)。米尔本警告称,这在经济上不可持续,对一代年轻人来说是灾难性的。
