Title:
YOUTH HOMELESSNESS: Evolution of the chief causes behind massive homelessness of
youth in UK.
Research question:
What are chief reasons behind increasing homelessness of youths between the age 7 years to 18

The term homelessness refers to the condition where individuals are without permanent
dwelling and majority of the time are unable to acquire as well as maintain safe, regular as well
as adequate housing due to lack of financial capability. Homelessness in UK has affected a huge
number of individuals and is measured as well as responded to in varying way in Scotland,
England, Wales and Northern Ireland. According to UK homeless charity shelter, in the year
2018, the total number of homeless individuals has crossed 3000,000 (Bramley and Fitzpatrick

accommodation more than doubled in the five years to 2018. Youth homelessness is currently
considered as one of the most complex issues in UK and a good variety of interconnected issues
are leading to young individual who are becoming homeless (Watts, Johnsen and Sosenko 2015).

Background (250)
Homelessness is considered to a global issue and a good number of underdeveloped,
developing as well as developed countries are suffering due to homelessness. In UK the first
major issue of Homelessness took place during the higher clearances as well as the lower
clearances in Scotland In the 19th Century. The second major homelessness was experienced by
the residents of Ireland in the between the year 1845 to 1852 (Watts, Johnsen and Sosenko
2015). The chief reason behind the phenomenon of homelessness is the great feminine. Other
major issues that have led to homelessness in UK include The Irish War of Independence, the
Second World War and the northern sea flood that took place in 1953. The youth homelessness
took a major shape in the year 2004. According to researchers, one of the chief reason behind the
huge youth homelessness was the lack of job and overly faced by the youths. The youth
unemployment is found to rate doubled between the year 2004 as well as late 2011, peaking at
18% in 2011 (Hodgson et al. 2013). Considering the fact that youths are considered to be the

specifically the individual of the age range 18 to 24 years (Watts, Johnsen and Sosenko 2015).
An eminent increment in the acceptance of Statutory homes liked to the priority needs group has
been observed. However a rapid drop of the same has been evidenced in England in the last 2
years. According to Hodgson et al. (2013), this phenomenon possess direct linkage with the wide
spread adaptation of the preventive services. Pleace and Quilgars (2003) have founded out that
among the states of UK, Scotland along with several of the Urban areas tend to report higher
number of youth homelessness compared to other individuals. Watts, Johnsen and Sosenko
(2015) have found out that young women are more likely to be statutorily homeless compared to
young men. The chief reason behind this is considered to be the lack of financial stability of
young women compared to men. Hall and Montgomery (2000) stated that minority ethnic
households are significantly over-represented among homeless individuals in England.
However, Watts, Johnsen and Sosenko, (2015), stated that as per a survey conducted
recently, the number of homeless youths of age ranging between 18 years to 24 years who were
considered to be statutory homeless by the local authority has fallen by a minimal percentage
since the year 2017. For instance, the number of homeless people in Scotland in the year 2027
was 2830, which is 8 percent lower than that of the previous year. The scale of statutory
homelessness in UK is higher compared to that of the non- statutory homelessness. The statutory
homelessness refers to the total number of individuals who are eligible for obtaining help for the
government under relevant homeless legislation. When it comes to non-statutory homelessness,
it refers to the individuals who are supported by different types of accommodation services.

2017).
Causes and profile
Youth homelessness refers to a complex issue and a good number of interconnected
issues are found to be leading to homelessness of young people in UK. According to Bramley
and Fitzpatrick (2018), disadvantaged childhood along with adverse childhood experience can
be considered as one of the chief reason behind youth homelessness in the nation. More than 12
percent of the total amount of youth population in UK is found to experience trauma or
disruption during their childhood. According to a recent survey, 97 percent of the young
homeless individuals are found to have experience traumatic situation in their childhood. Major
examples of these experiences include disrupted living arrangements, neglect as well as physical
and emotional abuse. Prolonged abusive experience during childhood results in social isolation,
depression, anxiety and other physiological issues. This in turn enhances the detachment of the
youth with their family. Another major cause of homelessness includes trauma faced by young
individuals in care. Youths who are highly vulnerable and more prone to leave their residence or
care placements. Bramley and Fitzpatrick, 2018 pointed out two major reason behind this. First
of all, majority of them, in their early live has been found to be the victim of violence which has
lead to significant physiological issues. Secondly, disabled young people have to go through
multiple care placements and have been to multiple schools. As a result of this, it becomes highly
difficult for them to form positive relationship while facing unsettled experiences during their
crucial time of their development. More than 25 percent of the total number of homeless youths
is found to be in care. They possess very little choice other than dealing with the responsibilities
and challenges of living independently at a very early stage of their life.

Steen and MacKenzie (2017) pointed out family relationship breakdown to be another
leading cause of youth Homelessness in UK. The most common family relationship breakdown
leading to youth homelessness includes relationship breakdown between and young individual
and their parents or step parents. Young people in such scenarios are left alone without any kinds
of social, physiological as well as financial support. Mental health issues, exclusion from school,
LGBT and drug abuse are other causes that are leading to homelessness of young people.
According to researcher, homeless people are more likely to be suffering from mental issues
compared to their peers. Survey reports have demonstrated that 90 percent of the homeless
youths who meet the criteria for at least one current psychological health issue and 73% show
symptoms of two or more psychiatric conditions. When it comes to the LGBT youths, chief
reason behind their homelessness is parental rejection, sexual and physical abuse, violence along
with social isolation. Exclusion from school results in highly limited opportunity in future and
thus enhances their chances of becoming homeless significantly. Liddiard and Hutson (2018)
have pointed out that lack of employment opportunities can be considered as anther major reason
of homelessness. Currently the youth unemployment of Wales is 17.4 percent. Youths coming
from deprived background find it highly difficult to secure their employment compared to their
peers.
Support needs
The chief support that is needed not only by the homeless youths but also by the
homeless people in UK is provision of appropriate healthcare service. As been discussed earlier
more than 90 percent of the homes youth are found to posses minor to major psychological
issues. Poor health itself possesses the potential to contribute to being homeless. Limited access
to healthcare can make the situation worse. This is the reason behind the worse health condition

Ethical considerations
Ethical consideration is considered to be a highly crucial part of conducting a research.
The term ethics is directly related to the correct rules of conduct that are necessary for carrying
out a research (Vaioleti 2016). Ethics is considered to be a moral responsibility for protecting the
participants as well as the researchers from any kinds of unjustified legal issues. According to
Taylor, Bogdan and DeVault (2015) ethics can be considered to be the norms or standard of
conduct that differentiate between wrong and right. Ethical consideration in a research helps the
researchers as well as the participants to determine which behaviour to be considered as
acceptable and which behaviour not be considered as not acceptable. First of all, ethical
standards prevent against the fabrication as well as the falsification of data and hence promote
the pursuit of knowledge as well as truth which is considered to be the primary goal of the
research (Vaioleti 2016). Along with ethical activities, ethical behaviour is also considered
