The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2O-7034 by Allan Wilson on 9 June 2005, whether it will provide a breakdown of the status of the 35,000 16 to 19-year-olds not in education, training or employment by (a) local enterprise company area and (b) local authority area.
The answer
Further to the answer to question S2O-7034 on 9 June 2005 Table 1 gives the number of 16 to 19-year-olds not in education, training or employment by economic status for each Local Enterprise Company area. Table 2 gives the number of 16 to 19-year-olds not in education, training or employment by economic status for each local authority area.
The Labour Force Survey figures shown in Tables 1 and 2 are above the Office for National Statistics reliability thresholds. ONS calculate reliability thresholds based on sample sizes in each local authority area. In general the smaller local authority areas had larger enhancements in the boosted LFS. This means that estimates of Not In Education, Employment or Training (NEET) cannot be produced for some of the larger local authority areas such as Edinburghand Fife, but reliable estimates for smaller local authority areas such as Angusand Argyll and Bute can be produced.
