Rachel Reeves, at a manufacturing conference in London, expressed grave concern over nearly one million young Britons aged 18-24 being classified as NEET (not in employment, education, or training). This group represents 13.4% of young people, a significant increase from the previous year. Business leaders worry that recent tax hikes could worsen job prospects for youth. Reeves highlighted the government's plans for apprenticeship access for those who struggled with GCSEs, deeming it essential to address this issue to prevent young individuals from wasting crucial years.
Rachel Reeves has labeled the growing number of NEET young Britons as 'a stain on our country' during a discussion at a manufacturing conference.
The latest statistics show a troubling increase in NEETs to 987,000, highlighting the urgent need for government intervention to reverse this trend.
Stephen Evans warned of potential future economic troubles if the government doesn't act quickly to help young people find employment or vocational training.
Reeves emphasized the importance of ensuring that young individuals gain skills and experience rather than 'sitting at home doing nothing'.
