Work and Pensions Committee: Youth employment, education and training

Committee hears from witnesses

The Work and Pensions Committee will hear oral evidence on youth employment, education and training. This inquiry examines how young people transition from school into work or further study, and whether current support systems—including apprenticeships, training schemes, and job support—are effective at reducing youth unemployment and improving economic opportunity.

Youth employment outcomes have long-term consequences for individuals' earnings and life chances, and for the economy's productivity. Poor transition pathways waste talent and increase welfare dependency; strong ones reduce youth unemployment and boost social mobility. This inquiry will assess whether the current system serves all young people, including the most disadvantaged.
