Youth Unemployment Surge: A UK Crisis
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
New report reveals alarming surge in UK youth unemployment, with three million young people now jobless. This significant increase has led experts to warn that an entire generations future is at risk. The study by PwC shows a sharp decline in job opportunities for younger individuals across the UK, causing the country to fall significantly in PwCs youth employment index. Officials report nearly one million young people aged sixteen to twenty-four are not in employment, education, or training, with youth unemployment now standing at fifteen percent. Early indications suggest that the rise of artificial intelligence may also be impacting certain sectors, with recent graduates potentially feeling the effects most acutely. Addressing this issue could provide a substantial economic boost, with PwC estimating that rolling back youth unemployment in the UKs worst-performing areas could inject twenty-six billion pounds into the economy.
