Looking at gender, more women than men were studying in<br />
school or college (52 per cent compared to 42 per cent) whilst<br />
conversely, more men than women were in work (31 per cent<br />
compared to 22 per cent). Men were slightly more likely to be<br />
unemployed than women, although fairly similar proportions<br />
were on government-supported training.<br />
In relation to ethnicity, young people from non-white ethnic<br />
groups were more likely to have continued in education than<br />
their white counterparts and were less likely to be in work.<br />
