Local authorities collect information on the proportion of 16 to 18-year-olds who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) in each local authority area in England.
The figures for Pendle cannot be disaggregated from those for Lancashire as a whole, which are as follows:(1)
| Estimate numbers of 16 to 18-year-olds NEET | Estimate numbers of 16 to 18-year-olds NEET as a percentage of the cohort | |
| 2012 | 2,290 | 5.5 |
| 2011(1) | 2,610 | 6.2 |
| 2010 | 2,280 | 6.5 |
| 2009 | 2,551 | 7.1 |
| 2008 | 2,530 | 6.6 |
| (1) The figures for 2011 and 2012 cannot be compared with those of previous years because from 2011 young people have been recorded by where they live. Prior to that they had been recorded by where they study. | ||
