    Situation

    Youth unemployment remains high at 11.5%, 3 times the amount for those over 25. The Prince’s Trust Youth Index 2019 shows young people’s overall wellbeing has flat-lined at its lowest level since the research was first launched a decade ago. There is evidence to argue we are living in some of the most uncertain times for young people. An unstable political and economic landscape, financial worries and the ever-increasing presence of social media, makes a complicated backdrop for this generation.

    Solution

    The Enterprise Programme helps give young people the confidence and skills to start their own business, thereby helping to reduce unemployment and boost the economy.The programme has helped almost 89,000 business start ups launch since 1983. More than 76% of Trust supported businesses are still trading after two years and 73% after three years. The social return on investment ratio for the programme is estimated to be for every £1 spent, £4.31 in social value is generated.
