Correction

10 April 2026

The dataset for the Sociodemographic, health, and employment characteristics of young people who are NEET, England has been updated to correct the labelling of the chronic health condition characteristics. This was caused by an error in our processing pipeline that has been corrected. We have also added in additional breakdowns for individuals with a hospital admission but no chronic health conditions, as well as analysis for individuals who have any chronic health conditions of interest. We apologise for this error.
