Thomson, Ann2024-11-012024-11-012024-10http://hdl.handle.net/11599/5664Addressing Youth not in Employment, Education, or Training (YNEET) is a critical policy issue because of serious economic consequences such as lost productivity, social exclusion, permanent skill loss and inter-generational poverty. Current policies do not adequately address YNEET because they fail to identify at-risk youth and often do not reach young women and marginalised youth. There is a lack of coordination among stakeholders that hinders effective support and a focus on short-term outcomes over long-term solutions. This policy brief examines pathways to skilling and education for Youth NEET in the Commonwealth and provides recommendations for policies that will reduce inequality, improve health and well-being and increase youth civic engagement, especially for women, girls and persons with disabilities.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/YouthEmploymentEmployable SkillsTrainingGenderPoliciesReport
