New research shows mental health problems are surging among the young in Europe. In Britain, 35% of 16-24 year olds are neither employed nor in education, at least 1/3 because of mental health issues.

    The headline says

    A record 35% of people aged 18-24 were classed as ‘inactive’ this year, driven by a mental health crisis.

    The FT article references this as its source of data - https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/neet-statistics-annual-brief#dataBlock-58d70635-dc1a-4172-997b-fb5bc73d7166-tables .

    But that source says

    The percentage of the population defined as ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET) in 2023 is estimated to be 11.9%. This is 0.5 percentage points lower compared to the same period in 2022 where the estimated figure was 12.3%.

    So where is FT getting its figures from? Or did they just pretend that training is the same thing as inactivity? (•_•)

      I have found ft.com to be very unreliable in the past.
