The information requested is not available for 16 to 24-year-olds. Analysis of the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE) and the Youth Cohort Study (YCS) shows that in the two years following completion of compulsory education, 4 per cent. of young people spent between one and three months not in education, employment or training (NEEfT); 9 per cent. spent between four and 12 months NEET; and 4 per cent. spent over 12 months NEET. These estimates are disaggregated by characteristics such as ethnic group, sex and parental occupation in the Statistical Bulletin “Youth Cohort Study and Longitudinal Study of Young People in England: The Activities and Experiences of 17-year-olds: England 2008”:
