Debt, unemployment and violence top fears for British youth

New independent research shows that debt, unemployment and violent crime are the biggest fears for the future for Britain’s youth.

 

The Youth Future Fears UK survey, commissioned by UK volunteering charity CSV and Tesco, and conducted by Ipsos MORI, reveals that:

 

• Nearly half (48%) see debt as one of their biggest future fears
• 40% are worried about unemployment
• Violent crime is a top concern for 38% of young people
• Yet, nationally, only one in three (30%) are fearful for the challenge presented by global warming.
