The all-party parliamentary group (APPG) for youth affairs will work with youth sector groups including the National Youth Agency to stage the inquiry, which will consider whether current youth work provision is sufficient to meet the needs of young people.
It is the first parliamentary inquiry into youth services and youth work since the education select committee looked at the sector in 2011.
Other issues being considered include the role of youth work in providing opportunities for young people and whether youth provision is addressing the issues and challenges they face.
It will also look at whether there are enough youth workers to support young people, the range of delivery models in the sector, and the training and development needs of youth workers.
