- By 2030, almost one in three working age adults (32%) in the UK may be living with a mental health condition.
- Teenage mental health rates are projected to reach 64%, twice the adult rate, as the number of young people not in education, employment or training (NEETs) hits a five year high.
- People with mental health conditions are 29 percentage points less likely to be working, giving the UK one of the strongest links between poor mental health and long term economic inactivity.
