A major review in the UK is looking at young people who are not working or studying. It focuses on a group called NEET: people who are “not in education, employment, or training.” The report says just under one million young people in the UK fall into this category. That is about one in eight young people. Being NEET can mean they are missing important chances to build skills or gain work experience. The review is expected to examine why this is happening and how services can help more young people move into jobs or learning. It aims to improve support so fewer young people are left without education or employment.
