Youth unemployment is rising faster in the UK than anywhere else in the G7 - and it’s not just because of AI. Our Youth Employment Index shows a much bigger story: nearly one in eight young people are now not in education, employment or training (NEET), and the barriers they face won’t simply disappear when the labour market stabilises. Even a degree no longer guarantees a graduate job. Graduate employment is at its lowest level since 2014. But the future isn’t set in stone. With targeted action, the UK could unlock up to £26 billion in additional GDP. Swipe through for the key insights. https://pwc.to/3KLWTMt

“It’s so important for women to be part of the voice shaping our structures around data, so we can be truly inclusive and representative.” Closing the gender gap in data and tech doesn’t happen by accident - it takes action, visibility and community. That’s what our recent Women in Data, Tech and AI event set out to do. We brought clients and colleagues together for an afternoon of hands-on learning, live tech showcases and open conversations about building and navigating careers in a fast-moving field. Thank you to Meera P., Jo Hills, Serena Campbell, and Grace Cleverley for creating a space that championed growth, confidence and connection. 🎥 Highlights below.

In reality, AI adoption takes meaningful investment, the right skills and a workforce that’s ready for change. That’s exactly what our Chief Technology Officer Umang Paw talks about in this episode of The Times 'The Business' podcast. https://lnkd.in/etfaBiwN

The Autumn Budget provided some welcome stability for businesses – but if you want to grow in 2026, it also added a whole new set of decisions to make.
