As of June 2020, approximately 13.4 percent of people aged between 16 and 24 were unemployed in the United Kingdom, the most of any age group. The unemployment rate for young people is consistently higher than that of older age groups due to the fact that the youth is often still making the transition from education to employment, and even when employed, the position may be far less secure than it is for older workers.
