Plan needed to protect young people’s future
29 Apr 2020
Now more than ever, we need to talk about young people. As a result of coronavirus, young people are more likely to have already lost their job or been given fewer hours of work. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has found that young people under the age of 25 are 2.5 times as likely to work in a sector that has now shut down – that makes up 30 per cent of all employed young people under the age of 25. Youth unemployment could potentially rise to two million after this crisis.
