Episode Details

Young workers in low-paid, insecure jobs face higher risks of health issues and economic inactivity, according to a new UK study. The research, commissioned by the Trades Union Congress and conducted by Timewise, reveals that sectors like hospitality, retail, and care are linked to increased long-term sickness and worklessness. The study highlights the challenges faced by young people, with nearly one million not in employment, education, or training, and almost half dealing with ill health or disabilities. The government is addressing the issue with a review led by Alan Milburn and a one-billion-pound scheme to hire long-term unemployed youth. Secure jobs with prospects are seen as key to reversing the trend and keeping young talent engaged.
