English: Thank you, Minister, and I'd hope, of course, that conversations continue with the night-time industry so that they can gain some clarity as we go forward. If I could move on to the job retention scheme, of course the Minister again will be aware that we've had several discussions outside this Chamber on this subject. The UK Government has begun the gradual process of winding up the retention scheme. As of 1 July, the Government will drop its contribution to furloughed workers' salaries from 80 per cent to 70 per cent, and from 1 August it will pay 60 per cent of a furloughed employee's wage, leaving employers to pick up the missing 10 per cent for the first time - a decision with significant consequences for thousands of Welsh firms across Wales. While young people made up the majority of workers initially placed on furlough, the reopening of shops, bars and restaurants has allowed many under-25s to return to work or find new jobs in those sectors in recent months, but many workers and businesses are still struggling. Older employees could face an increased risk, given that around half of those still on furlough are 45 or over, according to the Resolution Foundation, which has said in its annual living standards audit for 2021, that this pattern of younger workers more swiftly returning from furlough has resulted in older workers on full furlough bearing the highest risk of having been out of work for long time periods. It's estimated that as many as one in four staff who are still reliant on the scheme are aged 55 to 64. What analysis has the Welsh Government made of the demographic breakdown of people in Wales who remain on furlough, and does the Minister share the concerns of the Resolution Foundation that it is older employees who could face higher levels of unemployment with the end of the furlough scheme approaching?
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog, a byddwn yn gobeithio, wrth gwrs, y bydd y sgyrsiau'n parhau gyda'r diwydiant nos fel y gallant gael eglurder wrth inni symud ymlaen. Os caf symud ymlaen at y cynllun cadw swyddi, bydd y Gweinidog unwaith eto'n ymwybodol wrth gwrs ein bod wedi cael sawl trafodaeth y tu allan i'r Siambr ar y pwnc hwn. Mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi dechrau'r broses raddol o ddirwyn y cynllun cadw swyddi i ben. Ers 1 Gorffennaf, bydd y Llywodraeth yn gostwng ei chyfraniad at gyflogau gweithwyr ar ffyrlo o 80 y cant i 70 y cant, ac o 1 Awst, bydd yn talu 60 y cant o gyflog gweithiwr ar ffyrlo, gan adael i'r cyflogwyr dalu'r 10 y cant coll am y tro cyntaf - penderfyniad a fydd yn arwain at ganlyniadau sylweddol i filoedd o fusnesau ledled Cymru. Er mai pobl ifanc oedd y rhan fwyaf o'r gweithwyr a roddwyd ar ffyrlo i ddechrau, mae ailagor siopau, bariau a bwytai wedi caniatáu i lawer o bobl dan 25 oed ddychwelyd i'r gwaith neu ddod o hyd i swyddi newydd yn y sectorau hynny dros y misoedd diwethaf, ond mae llawer o weithwyr a busnesau'n dal i'w chael hi'n anodd. Gallai gweithwyr hŷn wynebu risg uwch, o gofio bod oddeutu hanner y rheini sy'n dal i fod ar ffyrlo yn 45 oed neu'n hŷn, yn ôl Sefydliad Resolution, sydd wedi dweud yn eu harchwiliad o safonau byw blynyddol ar gyfer 2021 fod y patrwm hwn o weithwyr iau'n dychwelyd o fod ar ffyrlo yn gynt wedi arwain at weithwyr hŷn ar ffyrlo llawn yn wynebu'r risg fwyaf o fod allan o waith am gyfnodau hir. Amcangyfrifir bod cymaint ag un o bob pedwar aelod o staff sy'n dal i ddibynnu ar y cynllun rhwng 55 a 64 oed. Pa ddadansoddiad y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i wneud o'r dadansoddiad demograffig o bobl yng Nghymru sy'n dal i fod ar ffyrlo, ac a yw'r Gweinidog yn rhannu pryderon Sefydliad Resolution mai gweithwyr hŷn a allai wynebu lefelau uwch o ddiweithdra wrth i ddiwedd y cynllun ffyrlo agosáu?
