At the end of May, Adam Milburn released the first part of his report into youth unemployment and NEETs.
The headline stat was 1 million 16 to 24 year olds are out of work, employment or training.
A lot more unemployed young people now than there were previously.
The last time that it dipped to similar levels was during the pandemic.
And there's another really striking stat from University College London, which says that those who are persistently NEET in early adulthood are six times more likely to be out of work at age 51 compared to their non-NEET peers.
Yeah, it's quite stark.
If you look across Europe, unemployment levels amongst young people did dip.
But most other countries in Europe have managed to bounce back and their young people are now in employment.
Whereas the UK has been an outlier and continued to see unemployment be prevalent amongst young people.
Wow, it's a long, long list.
Due to COVID more recently, and I think also back to austerity as well.
All of these factors have come together to make getting a job as a young person really, really hard.
And I'm actually going to read out a little bit of what Alan Milburn mentioned in his report, the impact of housing.
Poor transport links, especially for young people in smaller villages and towns.
It's not simply a matter of there aren't enough jobs.
There aren't enough jobs.
But it's also the world that young people face and how it impacts their way of going about things.
It also mentions the impact of social media and smartphone use and how that ties into mental health.
Because when you think of it, that also feeds into depression and anxiety.
Absolutely, yeah.
