UK Review Finds Many Young People Still Not Working Or Studying

A new UK review is set to examine the situation of young people who are still not in education, employment, or training. The group is often described as NEET, meaning they are “not in education, employment, or training.” According to the report, just under one million young people in the UK are NEET. This is roughly one in eight young people. For many, this can limit access to learning opportunities and reduce chances to build practical skills or work experience. The review is expected to take a close look at the reasons behind the problem and at how current support systems are working. It will likely consider what schools, training providers, and employment services can do differently to help young people transition into jobs or education.
