%X This report provides an initial exploration of issues related to young people's 14+ participation, progression and transition across London and the role of education providers, employers and the youth labour market in this process. The report was commissioned by London Councils' Young People's Education and Skills Board and its findings endorse the priorities identified in London ' Being the Best: The Vision for Young People's Education and Skills in London. The report uses a range of national and international literature, national data and, where available, London-specific data and reports, including those published by London Councils, to tease out key messages for policy-makers and practitioners. It also identifies areas where action needs to be taken to improve the education and life-chances of young Londoners, in particular 14-19 year olds, and where further research is required.
