For young people entering the UK labour market, the first few years of employment can be crucial. And these first few years vary significantly by gender, with young women and men experiencing different pathways into the labour market. This report considers how the pathways into work for young people vary by gender. It is structured as follows: chapter one considers young people in employment; chapter two focuses on young people in education; chapter three considers young people not in education, employment or training and the support available for young people out of work; and chapter four develops the implications of this work for policy.

This report is the first from our Missing Million research program. It finds that young people are having an increasingly difficult time getting an initial foothold in the labour market and need to be better supported in school-to-work transitions. We analyse the characteristics of the young long-term unemployed and conduct a series of interviews with this group in order to set forth recommendations for policy-makers on targeting the issues faced by this demographic.
