'A generation's future is at risk': PwC warns on youth unemployment
Jake Finney, an economist at PwC, said: ‘The UK youth jobs market has deteriorated sharply, the steepest decline in the G7.
'Young people account for over half the rise in unemployment since mid-2022, despite making up under a fifth of the working-age population. Young workers have inevitably felt the squeeze.
‘They are concentrated in entry -level roles, leaving them more exposed than colleagues with longer tenure.’
It is not easy to say something new about a UK Prime Minister and his Chancellor of the Exchequer who slithered into their wholly undeserved roles loudly promoting economic growth as their primary economic goal before stifling with policies obviously inimical to growth.
'Stupid' doesn't work as a complete description even though it is stupid. It has been clear from the Tony Blair years that UK governments do not see their role as being wholly defined by UK interests and the interests of UK voters. For them, that's history book stuff.
