A King’s Trust study reveals that over 70% of UK young adults are anxious about their career prospects in the current economic climate. Concerns include job availability and the impact of artificial intelligence, which has risen by 10% in the past year, reaching 59%. This anxiety is compounded by a lack of work experience. Research indicates financial worries correlate with psychological distress, especially among unmarried individuals. Loneliness and isolation can further increase the risk of mental health disorders.
