The Milburn review is expected to put out an interim report this week, diagnosing the challenges faced by young people who are NEET. However, we’ll have to wait until autumn for the solutions. But, do we? And should young people have to wait? We already know quite a lot about what works. 🧵

Sharing this excellent (and depressing) @theifs.bsky.social research “How can policy tackle regional inequalities?” The research is clear: early inequalities shape young people’s prospects for decades. Places facing low wages and weak employment twenty years ago are still in the same position. 🧵1/3

🧵 New ONS data reveals another increase to NEET rates—especially for young women and those aged 21–24. I'm making my first foray on Bluesky to share my thoughts! The stats show 948,000 young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training (NEET). That’s 12.8% of all 16–24 year olds.
