The smallest workers in Britain faces a scene of strict jobs, as companies interact with high employment taxes and high horizon in the minimum wage by reducing employment.
New data from the Human Resources Services Employment Company, which followed 105,000 employees in more than 1500 small and medium-sized companies, showed that the workers of the total small and medium-sized companies decreased by 0.4 percent in February-where it received 0.2 percent gains at the beginning of the year.
Young workers decreased sharply, with 1.8 percent shrinkage between those between the ages of 16 and 24 last month. Analysts say this is not a coincidence: it seems that companies that have been exposed to increased costs fade or do not replace younger employees, who will become more expensive to employ as of April. The next rise in the national insurance for employers and the end of the minimum wages of the minimum of 21 to 23 years means that the new national living wages worth 12.25 pounds will apply to all workers over the age of 21 years.
Labor employers will also face a higher invoice for each employee member, which some estimate at about 900 pounds for each employee. This leaves smaller companies whose choice is nothing but to absorb the burden of work themselves instead of employing or keeping younger employees, who often need additional training and support.
This trend comes at a time when the number of children between the ages of 16 to 24 years in education, employment, or training (NEETS) reached the highest level in 11 years at 987,000. Since the younger men more than women fall into this category, fears are increasing that this demographic can miss the early experiences that they usually put on a stable professional path. High mental health challenges between this regiment, with more than a third reporting of “common” mental health issues, adds only to difficulties.
The government's response so far includes “youth guarantee” for children from 18 to 21 years in England, providing a path to employment, training or additional education. However, many of these measures may not be sufficient if the total market continues to tighten it.
Despite the dark expectations of young job seekers, the broader numbers of the Employment and Employment Union show a small 0.1 percent in job opportunities in the United Kingdom in February, where it rose to 1.55 million. The construction led the road, with vacancies, 13.2 percent in one month. This is evidence that “companies are ready for employment again” despite “wage increases, global political transformations and uncertainty about” reforms in workers' rights.
However, at the present time, the young workforce in Britain feels immediate pressure of the growing salaries, leaving politics and employers alike to confront the best ways to ensure opportunities that are still open to those at the beginning of their career.
