Young People and Work Report: Call for Evidence
This week, Alan Milburn has launched an investigation into the causes of record unemployment and inactivity among 16 to 24 year olds, with a call for young people and a range of experts to come forward with their views.
The Call for Evidence is now open and gives young people and their stakeholders the opportunity to shape Mr Milburn’s report and suggest life-changing solutions the government can bring forward. He is keen to canvas the views of anyone with experience of the issue, from young people themselves to their parents, football coaches and teachers.
Evidence submissions should be sent to youngpeopleandwork.report@dwp.gov.uk by 30 January 2026.
