What is youth unemployment?

Youth unemployment refers to the proportion of young people, typically aged 16-24, who are actively seeking work but unable to find it. The story highlights that nearly a million young people in the UK are not in employment, education, or training (NEET), which is a key concern the Labour apprenticeship scheme aims to address.
