Where are the NEETs?
What do we know about those not participating?
There is a high degree of churn within the group, with some young people
move rapidly between different activities at this age.
Just over one in six young people is
NEET at some point in the two years
following compulsory education, but
only one in twenty-five for 12 months
or more.
One significant element of churn is between Jobs Without Training and
NEET. Of those young people who were in a Job Without Training at 16,
18% were NEET by the age of 19.

do not Participate in Education or Training at 16 and 17
Why is post 16 participation important?
They are more likely to suffer from negative outcomes later in life. By the age of 21, young people who
have been NEET are more likely to face:
Unemployment / Under-employment
Lower income
Criminal record
NEET aged
16-18
Attainment at this age can yield
significant benefits later in life.
The employment rate for those
with a Level 2 qualification is
twice that of those without.
Poor health and depression
15% increase
in earnings
Achieving 2 or
more A-Levels
