More than one in 10 UK teenagers has been left without a job or college place, despite 11 years of compulsory education, figures show.
The number of 16- to 18-year-olds branded as “Neet” – not in education, employment or training – has risen amid growing fears that school-leavers are bearing the brunt of job shortages in the recession.
Some 261,000 young people had no job or training place, according to official data. The figure rose to 1,082,000 among 16- to 24-year-olds.
The Conservatives branded the figures “shocking”.
David Willetts, the shadow skills secretary, said: "It is a damning indictment of the Government"s failure to help young people during the recession.
