英国前卫生大臣艾伦·米尔本在政府委托的青年Neet（未接受教育、就业或培训）审查中提出，应当从福利系统重新分配资金用于扩展就业支持项目。1米尔本向媒体表示："我们需要从福利系统重新分配资金用于更多就业支持，以结束Neet危机。"1
根据审查数据，英国当前有创纪录的100万名18至24岁青年被归类为Neet，其中60%从未有过工作经历。1米尔本将这一现象定性为健康危机，指出"Neet危机是健康危机。不健康导致更高的Neet率"，1并主张整合就业、健康和福利支持系统以应对问题。心理健康审查主席彼得·方纳基警告，如果这一趋势继续，英国将有四分之一的青年患有诊断性心理障碍，而非目前的五分之一。1
此前，财政大臣约翰·希利已宣布投入1亿英镑用于"地方学徒服务"。1
Former UK Health Secretary Alan Milburn has urged the government to redirect welfare spending toward expanding employment support programs for young people, according to a government-commissioned review. 1 Milburn told The Guardian that "we need to reallocate money from the welfare system into more employment support to end the NEET crisis," referring to young people not in education, employment, or training. 1
The scale of the challenge is substantial, with a record one million people aged 18 to 24 classified as NEET in Britain. 1 Among this cohort, 60 percent have never held a job. 1 Milburn emphasized that the crisis extends beyond economics into public health, stating "the NEET crisis is a health crisis. Poor health leads to higher NEET rates." 1 Peter Fonagy, chair of a mental health review, warned that if current trends persist, one quarter of young people could develop diagnosed mental health disorders, compared with the current one in five. 1
The government has already taken some action on the issue, with Chancellor John Healey announcing a 100 million pound investment in "local apprentice services" last month. 1 Milburn's review advocates for integrating employment, health, and welfare support systems to address the interconnected nature of youth disengagement. 1
