MORE than one in four young people are worried that poor mental health will affect their ability to find a job, new research suggests.

The Resolution Foundation said the mental health impact of the pandemic could have lasting repercussions for young people.

The think tank said its study of 8,000 adults, supported by the Health Foundation, indicated that one in five of those aged 18 to 24 said their mental health was poor despite the easing of the pandemic crisis.
