Rationale for this question:
- Youth who are not working, training or studying are more likely to have poorer mental and physical health, suicidal thoughts, to be isolated and have lower levels of life satisfaction.
- Youth who are not working, training or studying identify multiple unmet support needs, most commonly help with employment and physical and mental health.
