The UK risks creating a “lost generation” unless ministers immediately take action to stop the young people who depart from the workplace warned business leaders on Sunday.

The British trade chambers said employers are increasingly concerned about official data, suggesting that nearly 1 million people between the ages of 16 and 24 were not engaged in education, employment and training (NEET), despite the need to promote new talents as the UK population.

These figures based on an inaccurate office for a national statistics poll are unreliable. But some data based on tax records also believe that jobs for young people have been the most affected in recent months, as the increase in labor costs and increasing economic uncertainty weigh for work.

The new data that will be published on the Adzuna job search site shows that the number of vacancies for new graduates decreased to a two -year minimum in March, even when the total hiring began to recover after the recess, which followed by the tax -departed tax.

Shevun Javiland, CEO of BCC business group, said the Z-Z-as a rule is defined as those born between 1997 and 2012,-confrontation with both higher barriers to entering the workforce and reducing the possibility when the number of vacancies decreased.

In a report published by the BCC on Sunday, he provided evidence that a quarter of those who classified as the Net wanted to work, but could not do with his mental health.

“The longer we leave this talent pool to get out of the workplace, the more difficult it is to do,” Haviland said. “If more complete measures are not taken, the whole generation risks being cut from society.”

However, businesses are also worried that they are asked to wear hiring, training and supporting young people they see as a risky rate – at the same time absorb the impact of sweeping Update the rights of workers It will make it harder to shoot new recruits.

The government hopes that the well -being reform announced last month, including great reduction in disability benefits and expanding work support, will help young people with mental health problems to enter the workforce and create a career.

Ministers instructed Sir Charlie Mafield, former retailer John Lewis, finding ways to business and government to help the sick and disabled to enter and stay at work.

Meiffild, which will publish detailed recommendations on politics in the fall, stated in the report last month that employers can now find her cheaper to replace workers Who became ill than invest in their content.

But the BCC stated that if the enterprises play a role, the government must “avoid introducing additional costs, risks and restrictions” through the reforms of the workers who are currently undergoing parliament.

The lobby group, which represents a large number of smaller enterprises, wants the government to spend more on mental health and additional education, as well as Whiteholla departments to “accept a more joint approach”.

He also urged ministers to make sure that pressure on social assistance does not go into the budget skills of local authorities and offers subsidies for employers to provide jobs or hire young people with little qualification.

Tax benefits for employers offering medical services in the workplace may be accompanied by new requirements for large companies to publicly report their health care, the statement said.

Employers also need to offer flexible work where it is necessary, and train managers to give young people more support when they are at risk of refusing, BCC added.

The Department of Labor and Pensions said the ministers “determined that no young man is left behind” and expands the support of mental health, major repairs of Jobcentres and offering the guarantee of apprenticeship, training or support for all 18-11 years.

However, in her BCC report, she noted that it was not yet clear how this guarantee of the youth would be provided, whether eight initial “Trailblazer” will be financed throughout the parliament.
