Retaining disadvantaged young people in work: An evidence review

Young people facing disadvantage have experienced particular unemployment challenges through the pandemic and it is crucial that employers create jobs and workplaces where they can develop and build long-term careers.

This evidence review is published in partnership with Youth Futures Foundation. It builds on the previous review on recruiting disadvantaged young people, to give evidence-based answers to these questions: 

• What drives disadvantaged young people to leave or stay in their jobs?
• What can employers do to retain disadvantaged young people?
• What can employers do to build inclusive work environments for disadvantaged young people?
