Characteristics of young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET) on Census Day and were not recorded as receiving benefits in England in March 2021.

By linking census data to admin records on health, births, deaths, benefits and labour market outcomes, we can get more information on the characteristics of these young people.

This work has been commissioned from the Office for National Statistics by the Department for Work and Pensions.

‼️Please note
The definition of NEET used in this work is different from that used in our other work on young people who were NEET using the Labour Force Survey and data on NEETs produced by the Department for Education, so these estimates are not comparable.
