Young Brits Left Behind in Job Market
Description
New research reveals a troubling trend: young British job seekers are being left behind as non-EU migrants dominate entry-level roles, with 27 migrants hired for every British youngster — while UK youth unemployment and inactivity soar. Since 2020, the British youth workforce barely grew, while non-EU young workers surged 355%, especially in retail and hospitality. Over 33,000 non-EU under-25s joined payrolls in 2024–25, while UK nationals in that age group dropped by 32,000. Experts warn this imbalance threatens opportunity for homegrown talent, sparking calls for policy changes — like tax breaks for hiring Brits and revamped job ads — to level the playing field.
