NEET landscape
621,000
At the last snapshot (Jul-Sep 2016), the ONS reported
857,000 young people who were not in some form of education or
training, or a job, during those 3 months.
We wanted to gather a more dynamic, complete picture of how many
young people spend time NEET and how long for.
We also examined what happens to them when they eventually
go into work or enter education or training.
We believe understanding this problem better each year
will help us solve it.
This is what we found…
Who is NEET?
Of the 7 million+ 16-24 year olds in the UK, 30% (2 million) spent some time out of
education, training or employment in the last fifteen months.
The majority of these 2 million young people are qualified to a Level 2 or above.
But 30% are not.
There are over 7 million 16-24 year olds in the UK

When they get a job, how suitable is it?
Underemployment is a big
issue for all young people in
the UK… Over 2 million of
the UK’s young people are
‘underemployed’ – that’s a
third of the country’s youth.
Over half are exiting into sectors with low pay, insecure contracts, and poor progression

What’s next for young people NEET?
Very few young people
who are NEET are able to
find a job or return to
some form of education or
training…those that do
and manage to sustain this
destination are the
minority.

They may be entering jobs with little security, which are short-term or beyond their skill levels. They may
also lack the skills to survive, and then thrive, in work.
Young people qualified to Level 2 or above are more likely both to exit and sustain their exit for
12 months or more.
This suggests that while those qualified to Level 2 or above make up the majority of the overall youth
population and NEET population, they are also the individuals who when exiting NEET are more likely
sustain their destination for 12 months or more. A particularly hard to help ‘core’ remains, unlikely to be
shifted by a growing labour market.

We use this data to ask our partners the following questions but with supporting caveats:
What does this data tell you? Be aware of the limitations of this data (geographies covered, consistency of definitions, statistical testing)
How could you use this data to inform your programme design in the future? E.g. identify your sweet/weak spots/use it to reinforce the
importance of codifying your programme to understand the key drivers behind your numbers,
Is there anything you would change about the data you collect now? E.g. NEET duration, types of EET outcomes (# hrs worked, type of
contracts, salary level, role type)
At 3 months In all 4 quarters
