Independent report: SSAC Occasional Paper 27: The influence of the social security system on educational and vocational decision-making at age 16
Between ages 16 and 18, young people pass through various overlapping transitions as they move from being a dependant child to an independent adult. At 16 they must decide whether to remain in full-time education or pursue an alternative pathway, such as an apprenticeship. The Raising of the Participation Age (RPA) legislation, introduced in 2013 in England, mandates that all 16 to 18-year-olds must remain in some form of education or recognised training until their 18th birthday.
