Unemployment: Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent assessment he has made of trends in the level of youth unemployment.
Answered by Pat McFadden
Youth Unemployment has been rising for four years. Level of NEETS is up 250k from 2021 – 2024.
In no year since the crash have Youth Employment rates reached pre-crash levels. That's why we have introduced the Youth Guarantee and why I commissioned Alan Millburn to write his report.
