The UK early leaving rate (12.4% in 2013) remains very slightly above the EU average (12% in 2013) but has been on a downward trend since 2011, falling from 15% in 2010 to 12.4% in 2013. However, the government’s official statistics (covering England only) are more up to date than these figures and show that the proportion of 16 to 18 year olds NEET at the end of 2013 was down to 7.6%, the lowest rate since comparable records began in 1994.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Commission’s annual Education and Training Monitor (2014) is available here:<br> <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/education/library/publications/monitor14_en.pdf" target="_blank">http://ec.europa.eu/education/library/publications/monitor14_en.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>The OECD publishes figures for 15 to 19 year olds who are not in education, employment or training (NEET), including 21 EU countries:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="4"><p><strong>Percentage of 15 to 19 year-olds who are </strong><strong>not in education, employment or training</strong><strong> (2012)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td> </td><td><p>%</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Australia</p></td><td><p>7.2</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Austria</p></td><td><p>4.7</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Belgium</p></td><td><p>8.3</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Canada</p></td><td><p>7.3</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Chile (2011)</p></td><td><p>17.5</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Czech Republic</p></td><td><p>4.0</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Denmark</p></td><td><p>5.7</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Estonia</p></td><td><p>6.8</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Finland</p></td><td><p>4.7</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>France</p></td><td><p>6.9</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Germany</p></td><td><p>3.0</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Greece</p></td><td><p>5.3</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Hungary</p></td><td><p>4.8</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Iceland</p></td><td><p>4.8</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Ireland</p></td><td><p>9.6</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Israel</p></td><td><p>10.7</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Italy</p></td><td><p>12.0</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Japan (age 15-24)</p></td><td><p>9.4</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Korea</p></td><td><p>8.5</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Luxembourg</p></td><td><p>2.9</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Mexico</p></td><td><p>17.0</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Netherlands</p></td><td><p>2.4</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>New Zealand</p></td><td><p>8.7</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Norway</p></td><td><p>3.0</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Poland</p></td><td><p>3.9</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Portugal</p></td><td><p>7.9</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Slovak Republic</p></td><td><p>5.6</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Slovenia</p></td><td><p>3.8</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Spain</p></td><td><p>11.4</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Sweden</p></td><td><p>4.1</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Switzerland</p></td><td><p>4.7</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>Turkey</p></td><td><p>22.8</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>United Kingdom</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> 9.5 </strong></p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>United States</p></td><td><p>7.7</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>OECD average <em>(excluding Chile and Japan)</em></p></td><td><p>7.5</p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>EU21 average</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> 6.1 </strong></p></td><td> </td><td> </td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"><p>Source: OECD (2014), Education at a Glance 2014, Table C5.2a.</p></td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/888933118903" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/888933118903</a></p><p> </p>
