This report explains why so many of this country’s young people, at any one time 161,000 or 9 per cent of the age group – are outside education, training and work for long periods after the school leaving age of 16, and why it matters that they are. It shows that 16 is a critical point when for some, problems that have been brewing for years reach a crisis, and for others, problems begin that could have been avoided. Both groups. and society more generally, bear the costs for years to come. The young people involved are disproportionately from poor backgrounds in deprived areas. They may suffer multiple disadvantage and few recover from the poor start that they have had. The report shows that where life goes wrong, or continues to go wrong, for young people in this age group, social exclusion in later life is disproportionately the result. They are much more likely to be unemployed, dependent on benefits, to live in unstable family structures, and to be depressed about their lives.
