Launched as part of a research partnership with the Private Equity, this paper examines [not in employment, education or training] NEET rates for 16-24 year olds across Great Britain. It identifies a group of blackspots for the problem and argues that without effective, targeted action from government and business, a generation of young people in these cities will face a bleak future in the labour market.

For young people entering the UK labour market, the first few years of employment can be crucial. And these first few years vary significantly by gender, with young women and men experiencing different pathways into the labour market. This report considers how the pathways into work for young people vary by gender. It is structured as follows: chapter one considers young people in employment; chapter two focuses on young people in education; chapter three considers young people not in education, employment or training and the support available for young people out of work; and chapter four develops the implications of this work for policy.

This report is the first from our Missing Million research program. It finds that young people are having an increasingly difficult time getting an initial foothold in the labour market and need to be better supported in school-to-work transitions. We analyse the characteristics of the young long-term unemployed and conduct a series of interviews with this group in order to set forth recommendations for policy-makers on targeting the issues faced by this demographic.

This report investigates the knowledge industries in Europe, and the move towards a knowledge-based economy. The report notes that the knowledge economy has most commonly been defined in terms of technology and knowledge-based industries based on concentrated research and development, the use of high levels of information and communications technology (ICT), and significant numbers of graduates and professional and associate professional employees. The report reveals that Europe has experienced a significant growth in knowledge industries over the past decade and at a similar rate to the expansion of knowledge-based employment in the US. It is indicated that in 2005, the size of Europe's knowledge economy measured by the share of total employment in knowledge industries was similar to the US. The chapters are: Introduction; The knowledge industries in Europe; Knowledge industry employment in Europe; Moving towards a knowledge based economy in Europe; Technology based manufacturing; Knowledge based services; How Europe compares with the United States; Investing in knowledge; Next steps.
