UK youth unemployment has surged with 70% more 16-24 year-olds citing health problems as barriers to work, reaching nearly one million NEETs, prompting government employment initiatives including hiring grants and apprenticeship incentives.

Nearly one million young people aged 16-24 in the UK are not in education, employment, or training, representing 12.8% of that age group, with numbers rising due to weak job markets and cuts in hospitality and graduate schemes.
