Graeme Paton recently wrote about it in the U.K. Daily Telegraph:
"Official figures show almost 1.2 million people aged 16 to 24 are classed as “NEET” – not in education, employment or training – as school-leavers continue to bear the brunt of job shortages in the downturn.
The number of youngsters with effectively nothing to do in England soared by 137,000 – more than 12 per cent – in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period a year earlier. "
