More than a million young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training. They are the Neets, and according to a new government report it’s a growing problem among 16- to 24-year-olds. Across Europe, young people took a hit during the Covid pandemic, but while other countries have recovered, Britain hasn’t.
Sammy Gecsoyler is a Guardian reporter and has been speaking to Neets – some of whom have applied for thousands of jobs – to try to find out what is going wrong. He hears how AI and remote job applications are affecting their job prospects and leaving them demoralised.
