A few days ago the story about high unemployment rate among British youth hit the headlines but as usually mainstream media ignored the real reason for that.
In fact the real reason why countless British youth cannot find a job is because employers have hired 27 young workers from outside the EU for every British person taken on and this is happening while the number of people aged 16 to 24 not in education, employment and training, known as Neets, has soared to 957,000 and is forecast to rise higher.
According to a recent research the number of young people classed as NEET could rise to 1.25 million within five years and figures from HMRC show the number of non-EU or UK nationals under 25 in employment rose from 81,500 in January 2020, to 370,900 in December 2025, an increase of 289,400 people.
But Brits under 25 in employment only rose from 3,841,500 to 3,852,300 in the same period, up by just 10,800. Under-25s classed as Neet rose by more than 150,000 during this period and “starter roles” typically taken up by young people have been vanishing, with migrants employed instead.
It’s clear that employers want cheap labour instead of training and paying a fair salary to the British youth so it shouldn’t surprise anyone if too many young people are sitting idle doing nothing.
