Following the Government’s commitment to introducing a Youth Guarantee in England, something we first called for five years ago, L&W pursued a new programme of work to demonstrate the need for a Youth Guarantee, understand how it could be successfully implemented, and set out what is required to make it work. In addition, Youth Futures Foundation funded L&W to explore how the benefits system can support a Youth Guarantee.
The research included data analysis and desk research to understand the profile and needs of young people who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). We also consulted with young people, including benefit claimants, and stakeholders who offered insight into how a Youth Guarantee might be implemented.

This webinar, 'Implementing the Youth Guarantee', drew on our research to explore how a Youth Guarantee can help the UK to reduce its NEET rate.
Discover our vision for a Youth Guarantee
We are pleased to share our vision for an ambitious Youth Guarantee so that fewer than 10% of young people are NEET, and no young person who is able to engage with work or training is NEET for more than a year.
Young people who are not in education, employment, or training – what does the data tell us?
