This briefing paper examines how estimates of the number of young people who are ‘NEET’ 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.
