Almost a quarter of a million young people who are currently not working say they never plan to get a job, a survey has revealed.
The poll of 18 to 24-year-olds found that a staggering 227,000 youngsters currently out of a job or not studying claim they never intend to enter the labour market.
The research also found that almost a third (30 per cent) don’t think they will ever be able to achieve their career ambitions.
The apprehension is highest among those who are currently not working (35 per cent) and those who have faced difficulties in their early lives.
It was not made clear why so many young people say that they do not intend to find work.
The research, in which 5,000 young people were questioned, was carried out by educational organisation City and Guilds.
