YOUNG people in Scotland are struggling more with the cost of living crisis than they did during the pandemic, according to a new report.
The study by Prince’s Trust NatWest Youth Index 2023, based on YouGov research, found 51% of young people in Scotland think the cost of living will have a worse impact on their life than Covid did.
It also highlighted that in Scotland the cost-of-living crisis (62%) and coming recession (35%) are young people’s biggest worries for the future, and how these concerns impact upon young people’s life goals and career aspirations.
