Consequences, risk factors, and geography of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET)

This paper summarises key findings from a study into the consequences, risk factors, and geographies of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) over the past two decades. The study uses the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) which links anonymised individual records from the 1991, 2001, 2011 Censuses and a wide range of data from a variety of sources. Scotland’s censuses are also used in the analysis of the geographies of NEET.
