Summary:

We have identified research which uses Understanding Society data and is relevant to the consultation, providing evidence which points to the need for specific interventions. As a multi-topic household survey, with ethnic minority and immigrant boost samples, our evidence provides greater insight into the family circumstances and other background factors relevant to understanding the risks of becoming NEET.
