Results for disadvantaged youth (u.k.)
1 results foundAuthor: Barnes, Matt Title: Understanding Vulnerable young People: Analysis from the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England Summary: The Department for Education (DfE) wants to improve the aspirations and achievement of vulnerable young people. Of interest are young people who experience substance misuse, emotional health concerns, teenage parenthood, low attainment, those who are NEET and those involved in crime. The Department has a wealth of evidence on each of these issues and the ways in which young people are disadvantaged. However, there is less evidence on how these disadvantages overlap for some young people and the outcomes for those affected by multiple disadvantage. Investigating multiple disadvantage is important in understanding the experiences of vulnerable young people. Whilst the experience of a single disadvantage can create difficulties for young people, multiple disadvantages can interact and exacerbate one another, leading to more harmful and costly outcomes for both the young person and society as a whole. A significant evidence gap exists in understanding the extent to which problems faced by young people overlap. This information is needed to be able to estimate the potential numbers of vulnerable young people who are the most in need of targeted, supportive interventions and on what areas these interventions should focus. This research, using data from the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE), helps fill this evidence gap by addressing the following research questions: • How many young people face multiple disadvantages at age 16/17? • What types of disadvantages do young people experience? • What level of contact do vulnerable young people have with services? • What school-age factors increase the risk that young people end up disadvantaged? • What are vulnerable young people’s ’outcomes’ at age 18/19?
