According to the UK Department of Business, innovation and Skills (BIS), the “high number of young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) is a prominent feature of the challenging economic environment in the UK. Increasing young people’s participation in learning, skills training and work is central to addressing this issue as well as stimulating economic growth and facilitating social mobility.
The UK Department for Education funded a Report on students who are NEET by the Institute of Education ( 2014 ) concluded that the NEET risk factors are.
- The most significant educational risk factor was low educational attainment at GCSE. Reasons cited for low GCSE attainment included a lack of motivation, poor health (physical and mental) and having Special Educational Needs.
- A range of personal risk factors were identified including health problems, caring responsibilities and difficult family circumstances (such as being in care or experiencing a breakdown in relationship with parents).
- Structural risk factors were also identified which included difficult labour market conditions, a lack of training and apprenticeship opportunities and welfare support providing a higher income than potential wages.
