118,000 from a year earlier.
- The percentage of all young
people in the UK who were NEET was 13.5%, down 0.8 percentage points from
October to December 2013 and down 1.6 percentage points from a year
earlier.
- Just over half (52%) of all

work and therefore classified as unemployed. The remainder were either not
looking for work and/or not available for work and therefore classified as
economically inactive.
