Un giovane su sei non troverà lavoro né seguirà corsi di formazione nei prossimi cinque anni senza azioni concrete, avverte il rapporto

I think, one needs to feel incentives to work. Which means jobs need to exist at the first place and wage suppression by labour oversupply shouldn’t be overly severe.

But I’m just a random idiot so what do I know.

I’m sadly parent to at least one of them . I don’t know where we start on this . There is SO much to untangle here

Well yeah, lack of action is how you end up without work.

In five years nothing will change towards a positive outcome within British society.

So thank you for reporting. But nothing feasible to be done within a span of 5 years that would alter this outcome.

Realistically speaking…. Nothing.
Will take 5 years to get this heard and thought about in parliament if ever were to be proposed 😅
And the job market it’s in itself a market. That needs this type of situations to be able to profit out of the workforce they pretend to cater.

The leftovers is for the state to take care.

This just tells me the country is not prepared for the huge changes that are to come. The way we look at work needs to change because soon humans will no longer be needed for it. 

A universal income will have to be implemented and a job will be something you do in your spare time to earn extra cash. Being an online reseller, being an online streamer, being a creative that makes things to sell online these are the kind of jobs people will work in the not to distant future, the days of the 9-5 are slowly coming to an end.

That’s a shame :/

I’d argue that 1 in 6 companies could hire more staff if their CTO’s / Managers / Whatever’s actually knew what the fuck their staff did or had any concept of future proofing.

But no, it’s easier to re-allocate work to the existing employees, come out with a few buzzwords and slogans, and pretend like they aren’t using people for the sake of feeding greedy, profit hungry board members and stakeholders.

You also have the culture of yes men. People with 0 technical skills but the ability to say “yes, I can get that sorted” who then proceed to impact the working lives of MANY others in order to fulfil their own lies and secure a 5 figure bonus. You won’t even get half a day holiday as recognition. You definately won’t be getting colleagues when you’ve shown you can do the work for free.

Yes, AI is an issue, but the modern working world has had more than AI to worry about for many years now.

We won’t even get started on the concept of pensions and how young people today are meant to feel confident in that system.

Or the fact you need 4yrs experience for an entry level job that no one person at your future employer will be able to articulate because even they are winging it and moving the goalposts every day to fit into the “work smarter not harder” mentality.

Or the fact that in order to work full time most of them will need to live at home because private rent is out of control and you need 2years of full pay just to even make a realistic dent in a mortgage application.

Or the fact that if you live in a rural area you’re having to drive miles just to find a job to apply for. Let alone secure.

And then you have the nepo babies…of which every level of the job world has been saturated. Have fun working with people who literally use mummy and / or daddy in the business place to get their way.

All of those hoops and bullshit, just to pay more taxes than most countries and still need a food bank for you and your family.

These reports could be condensed down to 9 million working age people economically inactive vs 700k job vacancies.

You can play around with figures or try and come up with explanations when the simple fact is there isn’t enough work in this country for the population. Either private businesses need to expand hiring or the government needs to provide stimulus.

We don’t really have a dynamic private sector like the US that will take risks and chase expansion so the probability is only the government can turn this round. If they spend years wasting time on reports instead of intervening the problem just compounds.

The average house price against wage in 1975 was 2x.

Today, it is 6.1x.

A mortgage usually requires you to earn 4.5x the monthly instalment AFTER tax… I’m not surprised NEETs exist at such a rate, given that what used to be entry level housing, is now only accessible to the top 20% of earners.

If I were playing a game, and my controller disconnected upon launch — I would also just not play.

The British Army is struggling to recruit last time I heard. Being in the army is not just shooty shooty soldier. There’s plenty of opportunities. My cousin is having his paramedic degree sponsored by the RAF.

Can we please talk about putting guard rails on AI? At this point I don’t think there are many people on the planet who don’t realise it’s causing record unemployment rates

And no, I don’t want to hear about how “it’s the modern tractor”. It’s not

At 21 i got my degree and had 4 years of good success and upward trajectory (consultant at a research centre and a legal analyst at a bank)

Had a year of complete fall off due to health issues, a break up & losing most of my family.

Now stuck in retail and can’t get a job for love nor money.

From a BBC article back in April “The data shows 35% of young men aged 20-35 were living with their parents – more than young women (22%), although the rate in both groups has been increasing.” Yeah we already have a fucking lost generation, the millennials…. Still haven’t gotten a proper foot fold… Shits only going to get worse with another “lost generation”

Can’t believe no one has yet mentioned that this is partially (and I’d argue majorly) due to schools default pushing any pupils who show a possibility of getting good GCSE results from about Year 8, to get A Levels then get “an degree” – any degree, doesn’t matter if you’re not interested in the subject, doesn’t matter if you have zero desire to go to that university, just go to uni, get a degree, and we’ll worry about the massive debt later.

We now have a job market over-saturated with graduates with degrees they had no real interest in, all jockeying for some dead end “graduates only” career in a finance company or the corporate side of a supermarket (I know one of each – degrees in religious studies and geography respectively, both had no real interest in either).

I, and most people around me, believed my career path to be utterly insane until my late 20s when it paid off, and I’m far from well off now. But at least I get by and enjoy my work.

Whereas plenty of mates are doing well – own house, decent car, holidays, spare cash to buy shit they don’t really need. All of them got put in the lower sets at school, barely scraped a couples of Es, Fs, and even a few Us at GCSE, started a college course in a trade, got an apprenticeship, binned the college course off without even finishing the first year because they realised “why the fuck am I doing a college course when I could just do this for work?”, then went out on their own and were sitting pretty by their late 20s/early 30s.

We need a complete overhaul of the education system – not in what it teaches or how (though incidentally that’s another discussion we should seriously have) but in how it steers adolescents into what they should do with the first part of their adult life.

It’s going to be higher once the AI race really kicks in. No age group will be safe.

Why would you want to work knowing that you can’t get a liveable wage? Groceries, housing, etc., are all taking your money and the cost of living is going to increase even more while wages fail to keep up. Britains, problem is that 50% of the economy is propped up by the 10% richest people and when those people stop spending or go elsewhere then Britain’s economy will collapse completely. There is no way out.
