Episode Details

Young people in the UK, aged 16-24, not in education, employment, or training (Neets), are increasingly citing health issues as the reason for their unemployment. The share of Neets attributing health problems has surged by 70% over the past decade, now making up 46% of all Neets. Mental health issues and autism are the most common health barriers reported. The government is responding with new youth employment programs, offering financial incentives for businesses to hire young people and create apprenticeships. The initiative includes a £1 billion funding boost, aiming to create 200,000 jobs and support those with health conditions to re-enter the workforce.
