q3 · i? · associational · r3

Multilevel logistic model of NEET status (Table 3): Cohort (2015) OR = 1.64 [1.48, 1.81]. The authors attribute this to higher youth unemployment in 2016-2019 than 2004-2007.

"It is first worth noting that the participants in the 2015 LSAY cohort were 1.5 times more likely to be NEET at some stage from ages 16-20. This is consistent with the lower youth unemployment rates from 2004-2007 than in 2016-2019"
