The coming weeks are likely to see a surge in the number of people taking out
worldwide travel insurance as students head off for a year out having received their A-level results.
With jobs increasingly difficult to find for young people in the UK, many of those who have just received their A-level results could decide to head abroad for a gap year rather than trying to find a career for themselves.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics revealed there was a further rise in the unemployment rate during the second quarter of this year, with young people finding it particularly difficult to get work.
As a result, many may decide that taking a gap year and getting some
cheap travel insurance to fund a trip around the world may be a better way to spend the months ahead rather than applying for jobs.
The latest set of A-level results have revealed a continued rise in the number of students getting top grades, making it even harder for employers to decide between candidates.
Going, going, gone. Downunder for
cheap travel insurance.
