Should the government create a joint retail and government taskforce on youth unemployment?

Major UK retailers including Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Primark are preparing to urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to act on youth unemployment. The British Retail Consortium has drafted a letter to Downing Street calling for a joint retail and government taskforce to address the issue. Industry leaders warn that rising employment costs risk shutting young people out of work.
