In 2010, 141,800 (7.3 per cent) 16- to 18-year-olds were Not in Employment Education or Training. For most young people, being NEET is only temporary but patterns show that the numbers remaining NEET are steadily increasing especially with the current economic climate in regards to job cuts, recessions and the crash in the money markets.Statistics also show that young people specifically under 25 years of age are more likely to suffer from mental health problems such as depression and anxiety if they experience long term employment.
