UK Government Review Warns Rising Youth Unemployment Threatens a 'Lost Generation

A major government-commissioned review has warned that Britain could face a “lost generation” of young people unless urgent steps are taken to tackle rising youth unemployment and the growing number of teenagers and young adults who are neither in work nor training, according to Bloomberg and the BBC. The review says the problem is now so severe that getting onto the career ladder is “out of reach” for many, and one in six young people could be outside work or education in five years if nothing changes.
