Pam Tatlow, chief executive of university thinktank million+, claims that unemployment will continue to rise unless the government takes action such as increasing the number of available places.
She says that people were turned away due to a lack of funding earlier this year but that the demand is there.
'This would be a proper investment to make and would certainly ease rising levels of unemployment, including for younger people,' she asserts.
Ms Tatlow claims that this could be one of the best investments that that country can make.
Recent figures published by the Office for National Statistics show that the unemployment rate for 18-to-24 year olds rose to 18 per cent in the third quarter of the year, up 0.7 percentage points on the preceding three months.
