Half of employers believe Brexit will have a negative impact on young people in the UK, according to a new report.

A survey of 800 managers by the Young Women's Trust found that only one in four thought quitting the EU would benefit those aged under 30.

Another poll by the charity, of 4,000 young people, showed that two out of five were anxious about the future outside the EU.

Young Women's Trust chief executive Carole Easton said: "Employers and young people alike tell us they are worried about young people's prospects post-Brexit.

"Young people - and young women especially - are already struggling with low pay and increasing prices in the shops.

"We are finding that they are increasingly relying on food banks and falling into debt and the worry is that this could get worse unless the Government takes action."

It comes after former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg said Brexit was "stupidest thing any country has ever done" - apart from electing Donald Trump US president.
