Percentage NEET (16-17 year olds) - WMCA

This is the number of 16 and 17 year olds who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET), expressed as a proportion of the number of 16 and 17 year olds known to the local authority (i.e. those who were educated in government-funded schools). Young adult offenders in custody are excluded from the denominator used to calculate participation, NEET and not known rates. The age of the learner is measured at the beginning of the academic year, 31 August. The annual figure is made from an average of December, January and February. This includes young people educated in other authority areas, students living away during term time. Young people who were not educated in the maintained sector will only be included if they are known to the LA. Since April 2018, the NCCIS management information requirement stated that LAs should record the activity of refugee/asylum seekers in the same way as the rest of the cohort. Prior to 2016 local authorities were required to also track 18 year olds but this requirement was lifted. Where a young person's current activity is recorded as any of the following then their activity at the end of the month is categorised as NEET:  Working not for rewardNot yet ready for work or learningStart date agreed (RPA compliant or Other)Seeking employment, education or trainingNot available to labour market/learning - carer, teenage parent, illness, pregnancy, religious grounds, unlikely ever to be economically active. The following are included in the overall NEET/NK figures: Current situation not knownCannot be contacted/no current addressRefused to disclose activity.Data is Powered by LG Inform Plus and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

本数据集记录了16岁及17岁不在教育、就业或培训状态（简称NEET）的个体数量，并以当地政府资助学校接受教育者为基数，计算其占比。在计算参与率、NEET比例及未知比例时，排除在押的年轻犯罪者。学习者年龄以学年伊始，即8月31日为准。年度数据由12月、1月和2月的数据平均值构成。该数据包括在其他地区接受教育的年轻人以及在学期期间外宿的学生。未在公立教育体系接受教育的年轻人，只有在当地教育当局知晓其情况时才被纳入统计。自2018年4月起，国家公民身份信息管理系统（NCCIS）的管理信息要求规定，地方当局应如同对待其他群体一样记录难民/寻求庇护者的活动。在2016年之前，地方当局还被要求跟踪18岁年轻人的活动，但这一要求已被取消。若年轻人的当前活动记录为以下任何一项，则其月末活动将被归类为NEET：无报酬工作、尚未准备好工作或学习、已同意开始日期（符合RPA规定或其他）、寻找工作、教育或培训、无法进入劳动力市场/学习——如照顾者、未成年父母、疾病、怀孕、宗教信仰、不太可能参与经济活动。以下情况包含在总的NEET/NK数据中：当前情况未知、无法联系/无当前地址、拒绝透露活动信息。数据由LG Inform Plus提供支持，并每月3日自动检查新数据。
