<p>The department publishes national statistics on those not in education, employment
or training (NEET) for England from the labour force survey for young people aged
16-24. However, these are only published at national and regional level due to limitations
with sample sizes for lower-level geographies. Therefore, NEET rates for young people
aged 16-24 cannot be provided for the areas requested.</p><p>The publication is available
to view here: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/neet-statistics-annual-brief"
target="_blank">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/neet-statistics-annual-brief</a>.</p><p>Local
authorities are required to encourage, enable, or assist young people’s participation
in education or training and return management information for those aged 16 and 17.
This data is published here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/neet-and-participation-local-authority-figures"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/neet-and-participation-local-authority-figures</a>.</p><p>This
shows that of the 3,500 16 and 17 year olds who were known to York local authority
around the end of 2020 (average of December 2020, January 2021 and February 2021),
110 were NEET or their activity was not known (65 known to be NEET and 45 young people
whom the local authority could not confirm their activity). These are not national
statistics but published as transparency data so some caution should be taken if using
these figures.</p><p>In addition, 16-18 destination measures are published. These
official statistics show the percentage of pupils not continuing to a sustained education,
apprenticeship, or employment destination in the year after completing 16-18 study,
that is 6 months of continual activity. This can be used as a proxy for NEET at age
18.</p><p>The below statistics show that of the cohort of young people leaving state
funded mainstream schools and colleges<sup>1</sup> in 2019/20:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>16-18
