  • Youth Mobility: Background Briefing

    November 14, 2024

     

    Youth Mobility Schemes (YMS) are reciprocal schemes that allow young people (usually aged 18-30) to live, work, and study in participating countries for a set period. The UK already has such schemes with several countries around the world.

    Since Brexit, British young people have lost the right to study and work in European countries. As the Government puts it “International youth mobility helps young people explore new cultures, languages and societies, all while developing life skills and improving their job prospects for the future.”
