BARRIERS TO WORK
Take a look at a range of recent research that highlights the real challenges facing Young People, Over 50s, and those out of work long term. These stats don’t just show the problem — they highlight the opportunity for smarter, joined-up solutions. That’s where we come in.
40%
PIP = Sick
Around 40% of Personal Independence Payments are claimed due to long-term sickness—highlighting the scale of absence and disconnection from work.
52%
Unready
Over half of UK employers say young recruits lack basic work-readiness—missing communication, teamwork, and resilience skills needed to get and stay in a role.
38%
Over 50s
Have been out of work for 12+ months—more than double the rate for younger adults and many face lost confidence or age bias, making return to work even harder.
