Answer
Estimates of the number of people in Northern Ireland not in education, employment, or training are derived from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). The latest figures for Quarter 2 2011 estimate that there were 19.1% (48,000) of all those aged 16-25 in Northern Ireland who were not in employment, participating in government training schemes or in full-time education. It is not possible to identify separately those in part-time education or non-government sponsored training.
