Young people need ‘genuine’ opportunities, says TUC after sharp rise in those not in work, education or training
YOUNG people need access to “genuine opportunities” to kick-start their careers, the TUC said, after figures showed the number not in education, employment or training had risen by nearly 10 per cent in a year.
Government statistics released today showed that the total increased to 872,000 in April to June 2024, up from 798,000 in April to June 2023.
TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said the number of young people not earning or learning has increased over the past few years.
