Deep dives
Youth Unemployment Crisis
Youth unemployment in the UK has reached alarming levels, with one in eight young people currently out of work, education, or training. This figure is particularly concerning as it represents a significant increase, with 500,000 young people struggling with mental health issues that impede their ability to find employment. Economic challenges have also made employers increasingly risk-averse, leading to fewer opportunities for young individuals eager to gain work experience. The situation highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive approach that addresses both the mental health needs of youth and the economic barriers preventing them from entering the workforce.
