Youth Unemployment - the facts

Youth unemployment rises in December


There are worrying signs that the labour market position of young people has worsened in the last

quarter. The number of young people not in employment, full-time education or training has risen by

31,000 in the quarter. Youth (ILO) unemployment was down very slightly in the quarter, but rose by

17,000 between September and October. This is potentially a worrying reversal of the improving

trends seen for young people between mid-2013 and mid-2014."
