"However the House of Commons library indeed states the 39.6% to which you refer. Clearly the unemployment rate of the young is a cause of concern but I don’t understand the difference between the nearly half’ and the 14%."

The House of Commons Library says:-
"In April to June 2025

there were 634,000 young people aged 16 to 24 who were unemployed, 59,000 more than the previous year. The unemployment rate for young people was 14.1%, up from 13.4% from the year before

there were 3.85 million young people aged 16 to 24 in employment, 137,000 more than the previous year. The employment rate for young people was 51.8%, up from 50.8% the year before

there were 2.94 million young people aged 16 to 24 who were economically inactive, 71,000 fewer than the previous year. The inactivity rate for young people was 39.6%, down from 41.3% from the year before

In January to March 2025, there were 923,000 people aged 16 to 24 who were not in employment, education or training (NEET), 12.5% of all 16-to-24-year-olds. This includes unemployed and economically inactive young people who are not in education or training."

AI has some help:-
"What "Economically Inactive" Means for Young People:
    • The category of economically inactive includes people who are not seeking or available for work. 
    • For young people (16-24), a significant reason for economic inactivity is being in full-time education. In Q2 2023, for example, about 30% of young people were inactive because they were students. 
    • Other reasons for economic inactivity in this age group can include long-term sickness or disability, but the rate for students is a major factor. "

I think that this helps a bit, though my head doth spin.
