Britain's youngest workers are contending with a challenging employment landscape, largely because businesses are responding to increasing employment taxes and an upcoming rise in the minimum wage by reducing hiring efforts. Recent data reveals a 1.8 percent decline in youth employment among 16-24-year-olds, coinciding with rising costs for employers. With concerns about the rising rate of youth not in education, employment, or training (Neets) at an 11-year high, the government has introduced a "youth guarantee" to assist this demographic. However, experts worry about the long-term implications for their career development.
