Employers can do more to help their younger workers, such as those in finance graduate jobs, develop their career prospects, it has been claimed.

Chairman of the recruitment society Steve Huxham said although the government has put in place extra training and support, it may be too late for those who are already struggling.

"As part of their need to both attain those people and to improve their prospects there is a lot more that can be done by employers to encourage their younger workers who are unqualified to take on extra courses and skills," he said.

"The government play a part in supporting those employers and make sure that it is as easy as possible for them to do so."

Mr Huxham’s comments follow the release of a report by the Resolution Foundation stating low earners, particularly those in the 25 to 34 age group, struggled more during the recession.

This is because of their "exposed and overlooked" position compared to those on a benefit or higher earners.

Some 66 per cent of people aged between 25 and 34 reported a fall in income, compared to 50 per cent in the benefit dependant group and 33 per cent among the higher earners, according to the study.
