The Office for National Statistics (ONS) released its latest estimates of young people aged 16 to 24 who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) for May 2026. The figures, which include breakdowns by age and sex, are part of the quarterly Labour Force Survey and are presented as official statistics in development. Sampling‑variability estimates accompany the NEET data, reflecting the survey’s uncertainty. The data set will be updated again in the next quarterly release on 27 August 2026. The ONS has made the estimates available online and provides contact details for further information. Researchers and the public can access the NEET figures and related documentation through the ONS website. The release was published on 28 May 2026 at 9:30 am.
