Today's Office for National Statistics (ONS) data shows a dip in youth unemployment, yet it remains a pressing issue. Andrea Barry highlights a slight decrease in youth unemployment but emphasises the challenge with 481,000 still jobless. Action is needed to boost employment and strengthen the labour market.

This is a vital piece of work from Youth Futures Foundation. The discrimination and barriers experienced by ethnically minoritised young people should make us all stop, listen and think deeply about what we can do. #BreakingBarriers #YouthFuturesFoundation youthfuturesfoundation.org/discrimination…
