NEETs are in the news with new figures out today. Not in Employment, Education or Training figures were highlighted by deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg who has unveiled a work programme for what he describes as "disengaged" 16 and 17-year-olds.
The latest figures show the first downward trend in over a year.The quarterly statistics, released by the Department for Education this week, indicate that by the end of 2011 the number of 16- to 24-year-olds not in education, work or training in England had fallen to 958,000 - a drop of 205,000 from the previous quarter, which had a record high of 1,163,000 "neets", the most since 2000.
This final quarter figure for 2011 is slightly higher than the same quarter the year before, with 15.9% of all 16- to 24-year-olds in England being NEET as compared to 15.6%. Figures tend to follow a seasonal pattern of lower rates in autumn after a peak in late summer, reflecting the academic year. By looking at the figures for Q4s, you can see that despite a drop in numbers from third to fourth quarter, 2011 still finishes higher than any other year:
