Stop Blaming Young People for Being Unemployed, Says Amazon's UK Boss Amazon's UK boss John Boumphrey has sparked a necessary conversation about the state of youth employment in the country.
Record levels of young people are out of work, and Boumphrey insists it's not their fault. Instead, he blames the education system and advocates for mandatory work experience for over 16s.
Boumphrey's claim that the current education system fails to equip young people with necessary skills resonates with many employers struggling to find workers with the right qualifications and work ethic.
