Such an interesting report by Alan Millburn in why the UK has so many young NEETs.
' “[Young people] are different, not worse, not lazier, not less intelligent. They have grown up in a digital world that has rewired how they communicate, form relationships and manage stress. They have fewer experiences of workplaces and they present with higher levels of anxiety and depression.”
Does this ring true to you? And what are the next few years going to look like?
I personally can't see any reason for the government not to ban social media for under 16s in this context.
