(asked on 23rd June 2026) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent assessment he has made of trends in the level of youth unemployment.
This question was answered on 29th June 2026
Youth Unemployment has been rising for four years. Level of NEETS is up 250k from 2021 – 2024.
In no year since the crash have Youth Employment rates reached pre-crash levels. That's why we have introduced the Youth Guarantee and why I commissioned Alan Millburn to write his report.
