Reversing UK employment tax rises ‘would do little to help young people find jobs’

The Resolution Foundation argues that reversing UK employment tax increases won't effectively address the job market challenges young people face. Instead, they advocate for more funding for apprenticeships and expanding youth support grants. Their study found that direct tax cuts for employers would have minimal impact on hiring young people, suggesting a more strategic approach is needed to improve job prospects for this demographic. This insight highlights the importance of targeted investment over broad tax relief in fostering youth employment.
