Because the kids
are not alright
• Across the UK, youth unemployment is above 1
million, with long-term youth unemployment above
250,000 for the first time since the 1990s
• This equates to 1:5 young people in the labour
market (22%) being unemployed
• Urgent employment and training opportunities are
needed across London, and especially across the
Olympic host boroughs where youth unemployment
is at its highest
• The long term disadvantages include fewer
opportunities to develop work skills and confidence,
and long-term wage drag
We want to work with you to improve this situation.

London’s creative
& cultural sectors
This bleak situation is in stark contrast to the positive
outlook for the sector:
• The creative and cultural sectors are booming with
1:6 jobs in London provided by the sector
• Employment (nationally) across the arts, heritage,
digital and creative sectors is predicted to rise by
32% over the next ten years
• East London has particular advantages with the rise
of the Tech City enterprise zone and the legacy of
the Olympics and Paralympics
We want to connect employers like you
to local youth talent.
