Authorities warned that the number of young people in the UK who are not in work, education, or training has topped 1 million, raising the risk of a “lost generation.” AFP reported on the 28th (local time) that a government‑commissioned youth employment report found the number of 16- to 24-year-olds classified as NEETs exceeded 1 million in the first quarter — the first time since 2013. The report warned that without intervention the figure could reach 1.25 million within five years, roughly one in six young people. The study found that 84% of NEETs want work or vocational training, but many face barriers getting onto the first rung of the career ladder. It pointed to a sharp decline in entry-level jobs — including hotel and food-service positions, weekend part‑time work, and apprenticeship programs. Allan Milburn, a former Labour minister who led the report, warned at a press conference, “We face the risk of losing a whole generation. Too many young people are reaching adulthood only to find the doors of opportunity closed.” He added, “Young people do not lack effort. What they lack are opportunities and support.” Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the findings as sobering and said he would not allow a lost generation to emerge, pledging to implement the necessary measures. #UK #Youth #1million Yonhap News TV — For inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk/LINE jebo23; Seongseop Lee (leess@yna.co.kr)
