According to the
Office for National Statistics the number of university students in the UK has
fallen from 38% to 26%. The reasons for
this are both perhaps that there are fewer ‘student jobs’ available, but also
because there is more competition from non-students for what would have traditionally
been ‘student jobs’.
Typically ‘student
jobs’ tend to be in service industries that require staff on a part time
outside of ‘office hours’, e.g. retail, catering, bars. In recent years this has extended to include activities
like call centres, paid charity fundraising, leafleting and direct selling.
There are currently
around 2.5 million university students in the UK, 12% of that number represents
around 300,000 students who are not gaining work experience.
As students are counted as primarily economically
inactive, while someone who is working part time in what might otherwise have
been regarded as a ‘student job’ is regarded as primarily ‘employed’ this has potentially
moved up to around 300,000 jobs into the private sector from not being counted,
which further calls into question the Government’s claims about job creating by
the private sector over the last three years.
