1. What is stopping more young people from participating in employment, education or training?
ERSA’s recent research and the qualitative findings from our member survey demonstrate that there is no single explanation for the number of young people who are not in employment, education or training. Young people are not a homogeneous group, and the barriers they face are often overlapping and cumulative. These include structural labour market challenges, health-related barriers and systemic issues within employment, education and welfare systems.
2. What would make the biggest difference to support more young people to participate?
ERSA’s research and evidence from our members consistently show that improving participation among young people requires sustained, personalised support combined with structural reform to funding, service integration and employer engagement.
