A government-commissioned review led by former Health Secretary Alan Milburn warns that nearly one in six young Britons aged 16-24 could be out of work and training by 2031, up from the current one in eight. The interim report identifies collapsing entry-level jobs, a mental health crisis, and a welfare system that spends £25 on benefits for every £1 on employment support as the primary drivers, while independent economists question whether the proposed £1 billion intervention package is sufficient to address a problem costing the UK economy an estimated £26 billion annually.
