Young people who were NEET

There were an estimated 17,000 young people aged 16 to 24 years in Northern Ireland who were not in education, employment or training (NEET) in July to September 2022. This was equivalent to 8.8% of all those aged 16 to 24 years in NI. The proportion of young people who were NEET in the UK was 11.9%.

The NEET rate among males aged 16 to 24 was 8.3% and among females was 9.2% in July to September 2022.

The number who were NEET increased from the previous quarter by 2,000 and decreased by 7,000 over the year. Neither change was statistically significant.

In July to September 2022 there were an estimated 11,000 young people aged 16 to 24 years who were not in education, employment or training and who were not looking for work and/or not available to start work (economically inactive). The remainder of those who were not in education, employment or training were looking for work in the previous four weeks and available to start within the next two weeks (unemployed).
