Fascinating and disturbing look at the demographics behind the UK’s record number of ‘economically inactive’ people - they are clustered amongst the young (16-24) and the old (50-64), which together comprise 90% of the 2.8 million people UK Gov thinks should be in work, but aren’t. Mental health amongst the young and physical ill health amongst the old are the main reasons cited. With the change in government all but certain in 2024, the incoming Labour govt will have a lot of work to do.
