Nearly one million young Britons are not in education, employment or training (Neet), while the number of under-25 migrant workers in the UK has surged more than fourfold since 2020, according to new research by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ). The report, published this week, found that 948,000 Britons aged 16 to 24 are now classified as Neets, almost 200,000 more than before the pandemic. The think tank noted that one in eight young people is now a Neet, with over 250,000 of them economically inactive due to health issues. Lord Blunkett said ministers must seize the opportunity: “Nearly one million Neets is a daunting challenge. With the right support, they are a workforce waiting in the wings.”Main Image: For illustration purposes only.
