The Government is considering a new scheme to take 64-thousand part time workers off the live register.

The Enterprise Minister Batt O'Keefe says he is examining how 'revenue neutral' incentives can be introduced to get people back to work five days a week.

He made the remarks after the latest ESRI forecast shows that 120,000 people will leave the country next year because they cannot find jobs here.
