Britain’s youngest workers face a bleak economic future

Sticky inflation, rising bills and the fastest rising interest rates in a generation have plunged the UK into a deep cost-of-living crisis. For Britain’s younger workers, the pain runs deeper; America’s adult Zoomers, now in their first half of their twenties, face a toxic cocktail of skyrocketing housing costs, weakened job prospects, and a heavy load of student debt.

Together, the headwinds threaten to stifle not only their ability to thrive economically, but also the future prosperity of a country that desperately needs to create jobs. Anemic growth means there is no immediate end in sight.
