English: Well, Llywydd, there's a lot in what the Member said in the second half of her contribution with which I can agree. Her analysis is deeply flawed, however. It is one of the most remarkable features of the Welsh economy over the last 20 years that we moved from having one of the highest proportions of our population economically inactive, and a growing proportion as well, in 1999, at the start of devolution, to having reduced that figure to at or occasionally below the UK average, and if you'd said that 20 years ago, that that could be achieved, you really would have been thought of as being out on a limb in terms of economic possibilities at that time. So, I think her analysis is deeply mistaken, but her positive suggestions for what is needed for the economy of Aberavon and the wider economy of south-west Wales has lots of sensible things in it. Of course, we want to encourage indigenous enterprises. We have put money, during this pandemic, directly into supporting young people in particular who have ideas for self-employment, making sure that they have the mentoring that they need, the support that they need and some of the start-up capital they may need in order to turn those ideas into viable businesses of the future. And, while this Government has had a particular focus on the foundational economy, those jobs that can't be moved around the globe, we go on helping to bring investment to Wales from elsewhere as well. There's no one answer to the future of the Welsh economy. It needs to draw on a wide range of different ways in which we can support businesses that are here already, support the talents and enthusiasms of young people who have ideas for the jobs of the future, and, where opportunities arise, welcome inward investment to Wales as well.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, mae llawer yn yr hyn a ddywedodd yr Aelod yn ail hanner ei chyfraniad y gallaf i gytuno ag ef. Fodd bynnag, mae ei dadansoddiad yn ddiffygiol iawn. Mae'n un o nodweddion mwyaf rhyfeddol economi Cymru dros yr 20 mlynedd diwethaf ein bod ni wedi symud o fod ag un o'r cyfrannau uchaf o'n poblogaeth yn economaidd anweithgar, a chyfran gynyddol hefyd, ym 1999, ar ddechrau datganoli, i fod wedi gostwng y ffigur hwnnw i gyfartaledd y DU neu'n is na hynny weithiau, a phe byddech chi wedi dweud hynny 20 mlynedd yn ôl, y gellid cyflawni hynny, byddech chi wedi cael eich ystyried yn wirioneddol ar eich pen eich hun o ran posibiliadau economaidd bryd hynny. Felly, rwy'n credu bod ei dadansoddiad yn gamdybiaeth fawr, ond mae ei hawgrymiadau cadarnhaol ar gyfer yr hyn sydd ei angen ar gyfer economi Aberafan ac economi ehangach y de-orllewin yn cynnwys llawer o bethau synhwyrol. Wrth gwrs, rydym ni eisiau annog mentrau cynhenid. Rydym ni wedi rhoi arian, yn ystod y pandemig hwn, yn uniongyrchol i gynorthwyo pobl ifanc yn arbennig, sydd â syniadau ar gyfer hunangyflogaeth, gan wneud yn siŵr bod ganddyn nhw'r mentora sydd ei angen arnyn nhw, y cymorth sydd ei angen arnyn nhw a rhywfaint o'r cyfalaf cychwyn y gallai fod ei angen arnyn nhw er mwyn troi'r syniadau hynny yn fusnesau hyfyw y dyfodol. Ac er y bu gan y Llywodraeth hon bwyslais penodol ar yr economi sylfaenol, y swyddi hynny na ellir eu symud o gwmpas y byd, rydym ni'n parhau i helpu i ddod â buddsoddiad i Gymru o fannau eraill hefyd. Does dim un ateb unigol i ddyfodol economi Cymru. Mae angen iddi fanteisio ar amrywiaeth eang o wahanol ffyrdd y gallwn ni gynorthwyo busnesau sydd yma eisoes, cefnogi doniau a brwdfrydedd pobl ifanc sydd â syniadau ar gyfer swyddi'r dyfodol, a, phan fo cyfleoedd yn codi, croesawu mewnfuddsoddiad i Gymru hefyd.
