UK Government Faces Economic Catastrophe with Young People Not in Education, Employment, or Training

UK Prime Minister has described the situation of over a million young people not in education, employment, or training as an 'economic catastrophe'. The government is expected to take action, with a review due next month. The review's findings may lead to tougher benefit conditions in the budget, aiming to rein in the welfare bill. The move could complicate the government's plans for reform. Protests in France and warnings about the political cost of shrinking the state are also being closely watched.
