Resolution Foundation: Reversing employment tax rises won't significantly boost youth jobs; apprenticeships and grants needed instead

Summary

The Resolution Foundation thinktank argues that reversing UK employment tax increases — such as cutting employers' National Insurance contributions or reducing the minimum wage for under-21s — would do little to help young people find jobs. Instead, they recommend extra funding for apprenticeships and increasing youth support grants as more effective measures to boost youth employment.
