%T Youth employment index 2018 %I PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC %D 2018 %K Youth unemployment, %K Labour market, %K Vocational education and training, %K Digital literacy, %K Gender gap, %K Future of work %U https://apo.org.au/node/218176 %X The index estimates the potential gain from boosting youth employment, education and training to be around £40 billion in the UK and over $1 trillion across the OECD. This can be achieved by lowering the NEET (not in education, employment or training) rate to German levels. Potential gains could be as high as 8% of GDP for Turkey and Italy, where there are currently high levels of youth unemployment. The UK could see an annual improvement of around 1.9% of GDP in the long run. %9 Report %A PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC
