Young People Without Qualifications: How 'Headline Numbers' Shape Policy and Aspiration

CentrePiece - The magazine for economic performance from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: England's most widely used indicator of young people's education and labour market status is the NEET category - 'not in education, employment or training'. Making comparisons with how France and Germany measure school leavers' progression and achievement, Hilary Steedman argues that NEET is no longer good enough.
