The Lost Generation

on BBC Radio 4 FM

RT CHOICE 1/3. "Neet" is the Government's latest buzz word - an acronym for young people "not in education, ii ' employment or training". According to official figures there are 150,000 of them between the ages of 16 and 19. If they remain Neets, each one could cost the taxpayer £100,000 over a lifetime. A former Labour minister has called Neets "the first non-violent loss of a generation". Simon Cox travels to Barking, which has the highest concentration of Neets in Britain, to report on the search for a solution. Producer Richard Vadon Editor Nicola Meyrick
