Video Summary: Young People in Work, 2012

The animated video with commentary shows:

• the latest estimate for young people aged 16 to 24 in employment was 3.6 million, with the employment rate much higher for those who had left full-time education than for students;

• how the types of jobs differ for young people in and out of education, and between men and women;

• how the hourly rate of pay is lower for young people than for older people.
