As part of the Nuffield Review of 14-19 education and training in England, the Nuffield Foundation have published a report which examines how estimates of the number of young people who are ‘NEET’ (not in education, employment or training) are derived and what they reveal about the historical and geographical trends in the proportion of 16-18 year olds classified as ‘NEET’. In addition, the paper draws on evidence from the Connexions service to look beneath the headline ‘NEET’ statistics to explore the heterogeneity of the young people who are classified as ‘NEET’ and generate some understanding of the reasons why they enter the ‘NEET’ population.
