Being out of work and education between the ages of 16 and 24 has long-term consequences for people’s employment, finances, physical and mental health in midlife, according to new UCL research. A new report by the UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies reveals that generation X experienced worse outcomes at age 51 the longer they had spent NEET (not in employment, education or training) in early adulthood. Those who were persistently NEET between ages 16 and 24 were six times as likely to be out of work in midlife than those who were never NEET in early adulthood. They were also three times as likely to report being in poor health.
