Unemployment: Lincolnshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of trends in the number of young people not in education, employment or training in (a) South Holland and the Deepings constituency and (b) Lincolnshire.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The department does not hold information on young people who are not in education, employment or training specific to either South Holland and the Deepings and Lincolnshire. Based on data published by the Department for Education, the proportion of 16-17 year olds not in employment, education or training for Lincolnshire is below average in England and can be found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/participation-in-education-training-and-neet-age-16-to-17-by-local-authority”
Under our plan to get Britain Working, the new Youth Guarantee will ensure that all young people aged 18-21 in England can access quality training opportunities, an apprenticeship or employment support. This will sit alongside; a new national jobs and careers service to help get more people into work, work health and skills plans for the economically inactive, and the launch of Skills England to open new opportunities for young people. We will set out further detail in the upcoming ‘Get Britain Working’ White Paper.
