Some Ashburton councillors have had a crack at “entitled young people” in response to the district's labour shortage headaches.
The offensive was sparked by a reported swell in the number of people on employment support in Mid-Canterbury, despite employers throughout the district crying out for staff.
A glaring disconnect between a rise in the number of people receiving job seeker support and the numerous open vacancies sparked questions at Wednesday’s council meeting around the transition from unemployment into work.
A report on Ashburton's economy was presented on the meeting held via Zoom, which attempted to unpack the district's labour market issues with a 33.8 per cent rise in the number of people on benefits over the past quarter.
Eastern Ward councillor Lynette Lovett believed the issue centred around the poor attitudes of youngsters who were ill-equipped for the realities of the workplace.
“Today they're the entitled group some of these young ones,” she said.
“Schools need to talk about work ethics and what's expected.
“You only need to go out and talk to the farming community who are employing these young kids ... they're only there for a week because they go out boozing midweek and then want time off ... life becomes too hard.”
Western Ward councillor Rodger Letham added it was a “parenting and education” problem and not a matter for local government.
Urban ward councillor Carolyn Cameron disputed the remarks and said the council was obliged to scrutinise the problem.
“We have to acknowledge the Local Government Act, which suggests we look after our four wellbeings including social and economic, which is obviously impacted by youth unemployment.”
Recent figures from Statistics NZ showed about 1100 people in the district between the ages of 16 and 24 were not in any form of employment, education or training.
Ashburton mayor Neil Brown suggested the number of young people in this category who were unemployed was about 20 per cent.
Nearly 750 people in Mid-Canterbury are registered as job seekers by the Ministry of Social Development.

Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.
While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.
Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.
“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.
While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”
