The policy of juvenile transference, where unemployed young people under the age of 18 were encouraged to move to areas where there was a demand for labour, was introduced by the Ministry of Labour in February 1928. Most of the movement was from Scotland, Wales and the North of England to the Midlands and the South East, particularly London. By 1936, c.34,000 young people had been transferred. The TUC opposed the transference of under 16s and was concerned that 16-18 year olds would be exploited as cheap labour.
