Hidden in Plain Sight

This pivotal report, launched in 2018, shines a light on the 480,000 young people who are ‘hidden’ from the labour market. We used the findings from our research to call for an overhaul of youth strategies and the development of a tripartite approach between Government, business and the youth sector to fund youth-centric employment initiatives and re-engage ‘hidden’ young people.
