One million young people not working, UK warned

One million young people not working, UK warned

The United Kingdom faces potential economic disaster if it does not adequately respond to the needs of its younger cohorts. An upcoming report by a former government official, slated for release next week, will reveal that roughly one million people aged 16 to 24 are not working, enrolled in education, or undergoing vocational training. The problem can be partially attributed to an escalating prevalence of psychological distress, including anxiety and depression, which is connected to mobile device usage.
