What are NEETs?

NEETs stands for 'Not in Employment, Education, or Training'. It's a term used to describe young people who are disengaged from these key areas. The government review mentioned in the story aims to identify children early who might become NEETs later, hoping to intervene and prevent them from falling into this category, tackling Britain's youth worklessness crisis.
