What we know about the possible UK-EU youth mobility deal
- The UK is likely to agree on a post-Brexit youth mobility scheme with the EU.
- The scheme would allow young people (18-30, possibly up to 35) to live and work in each other's countries for up to two years (potentially one).
- Similar schemes already exist between the UK and 13 other countries, requiring applicants to have £2,530 in savings.
- Public support for the scheme is high, even in pro-Brexit areas.
- Supporters argue the scheme won't significantly increase net migration due to its reciprocal nature and time limits, though critics disagree.
