Motivation and Barriers to Learning for Young People not in Education, Employment or Training
In recent years there has been an increase in the number of young people (aged 18-24) who are not in education, employment or training (NEET). For some young people, this will be a temporary setback, while for others it will have a long term detrimental effect on their future life chances. In order to ensure that effective interventions are developed and targeted appropriately, it is necessary to develop an understanding of who is not in education, employment or training, and the particular circumstances in which they find themselves.
In order to contribute to the development of this understanding, the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) commissioned the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) to undertake an analysis of data collected from interviews with young people, aged 18-24, conducted as part of the NEET National Research Project. This helps build on the more extensive evidence base focussed on 16-18 year olds.
The aim of this analysis was to develop a better understanding of the circumstances and motivations of young people who are not in education, employment or training (or have recently been in these circumstances) so that policies can be better targeted for this group within the funding available.
