One in five children born at the turn of the millennium faces leaving school without a job or university place because of “flawed” education policies, according to research.

Almost 121,000 pupils risk being branded NEET – not in education, employment and training – by the time they finish school, it was claimed.

The study found that working-class white British boys were significantly more likely to end up on benefits than other ethnic groups after struggling throughout compulsory education.

Young people who experience a period of being NEET before the age of 24 face earning around 11 per cent less than the national average well into their 40s, according to researchers.

Britain risks creating an underclass of people who are permanently excluded from the prospect of employment, a report published on Thursday warns.

The survey of 1,000 UK employees and 500 employers, conducted between July and September, shows that 73% of businesses and 84% of workers believe there is a permanent underclass emerging, for whom a poor education and background leaves them largely unemployable.

The survey, conducted by human resources services provider Adecco Group, will further concern the government as unemployment among the under-25s tops 1m for the first time and fears grow that apprenticeship schemes are failing to help young people into work.
