Young and workless
年轻人与失业
Youth employment
年轻人就业
Recent figures confirmed that government labour-market policies, such as the age discrimination act of 2006 and the equality act of 2010, have enabled older workers to stay in the labour market longer. Two-thirds of the increase in employment since May 2010 has been among those aged 1 50 and over. Younger workers meanwhile experienced the biggest relative drop in employment during the recession and have not yet recovered to pre-2008 levels. Youth unemployment is still higher than pre-recession levels even though participation 2 for the age group is lower.
如上图所示,近期的一些调查数据已经证实了政府的一系列劳务市场政策(如2006年的年龄歧视政策还有2010年的平等政策)确实保证了老一辈从业者们能在市场中‘生存’更长的时间。从2010年5月份之后,就业率增长的人群中有三分之二集中在50岁及以上的从业者中。与此同时,年轻的职场人士在经济危机中则面临相对来说最大的就业困难,就业率一直未能恢复到2008年前的水平。在入职年龄降低的前提下,年轻人的失业率依然还是超过了经济衰退前的水平。

A recent report found that young people might be held back by a lack of “employability” skills including literacy, numeracy and self-management and that a positive, proactive approach to work was lacking. Attitude and ability appear to hinder them more than age.
一份近期的报告发现,当代年轻人正因缺少就业技能(包括读写,计数,自我管理,积极性以及工作中的前瞻性)而受阻。 同时相对于年龄,就业态度和才能也阻碍了他们前进。
