In recent years, we have seen a rise in the number of young people who are not in employment, education or training. The rise has been driven in large part by a growing number of young people out of work due to health or mental health conditions. The youth jobs crisis is bad for the economy and for public finances. Most importantly though, it is scarring opportunities for young peoples.

Last year, Sir Charlie Mayfield’s Keep Britain Working Review set out how government and employers can work together to reverse the increase in health-related inactivity, and keep people well in work. In September, Rt Hon Alan Milburn will release the final report of his review into young people and work. This will show how we can better support young people into decent work.

On the morning of the Prime Minister’s speech, this Fabian Society event will bring together the authors of these two landmark reviews to explore the common themes of their reviews. This high-profile and engaging event will discuss how we can tackle the youth jobs crisis, and support young people to thrive in work.


Speakers:

  • Alan Milburn – Author, Young People and Work Report; Former Secretary of State for Health
  • Sir Charlie Mayfield – Lead Reviewer, Keep Britain Working Review; Former Chairman, John Lewis Partnership
  • Sasjkia Otto – Senior Researcher, Fabian Society

with introductions from

  • Chris Luck CB MBE DL – Group CEO, Shaw Trust
