Overview

• Summary of dataset and variables:

  These data provide information on participation of 16 to 24 year olds in education and training, by selected age groups and economic activity.

• Data collection or calculation:

  These statistics are derived from a number of administrative and survey based data sources, further information on each of the sources and the methodology for producing the estimates is available in the Participation of young people in education and the labour market: methodology note.

  Each annual release provides final data for previous years and provisional estimates for the latest year. Provisional estimates use the best data currently available for each aspect of participation. These include some final data, some provisional data and some modelling depending on the different sources of data. Estimates for previous years take into account final data not available at the time when they were originally published.

• Statistical quality:

  The methodology used to produce the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) data has been updated from the 2022/23 academic year, impacting NEET estimates from 2022 onwards. The impacts of this methodology change on the estimates are small, with the difference in the higher education student population between the old and new methodology being less than 1 percentage point. Given this, no break in the time series is necessary, and comparisons before and after 2022 can still be made.

  There were changes made in the methodology used to derive the participation estimates introduced for the year end 2004 edition. Care should be taken when comparing these estimates with estimates from year end 2004 onwards.

  The economic status proportions are estimated from the Annual Population Survey. Therefore, these estimates will be subject to variation due to sampling error and also non-sampling error and should be treated with caution
