The final report from a three-year research study into the impact of school-based programmes for engaging with NEETs has been published. It concludes that it should be possible to prevent the majority of 16 to 24-year-old NEETs from falling by the wayside, but only if they receive the right support early on.
In England, as of December 2015, there are 690,000 young people aged 16 to 24 who are NEET.
The problem is more acute in the north of the country, with the worst NEET rates being recorded in the North West (14.1 per cent), North East (16.1 per cent) and Yorkshire and Humberside (13.1 per cent). The lowest rate is found in the South East (9.4 per cent).
