Youth Guarantee: A Safety Net, Not a Solution
Young people need a work promise, not just a youth guarantee, to address the root causes of youth unemployment.
Without a permanent, connected strategy linking education, skills, and work, we will continue to treat the symptoms, not the causes, of youth unemployment. A young person's chance of finding decent work should not depend on luck, postcode, or background.
- Almost a million 16 to 24-year-olds are not in education, employment, or training (NEET).
- More than six in ten are economically inactive.
- NEET rates have hit their highest recorded level in a decade.
Fragmentation has failed young people.
The government's refreshed youth guarantee is a welcome step, but it is insufficient on its own. Youth Employment UK and partners in the Youth Employment Group have long called for a joined-up national offer to address the issue.
Author's summary: Youth guarantee is not enough to solve youth unemployment.
