One million young people will be left without a job or college place this summer after falling victim to the recession, according to a report.
The number of 16 to 24-year-olds branded as "Neet" - not in education, employment or training - is set to reach its highest point since records began, said the Local Government Association.
Researchers said many could be "stuck in a rut" for years after being left behind by the economic recovery.
Teenagers and young adults from white backgrounds are around 20 per cent more likely to be out of work or training than those from black and Asian families, it was disclosed, while women are worse hit than men.
Lazy white layabouts.
