According to the latest detailed information available from the Central Statistics Office's Quarterly National Household Survey for Quarter 2 of this year, the following are the breakdowns in relation to 16-18 year olds' participation in training and employment: 20.1% of those aged 16-18 were engaged in employment; 14.6% of those aged 16-18 were engaged in training. This includes all courses outside of the regular education system; 1.97% of those aged 16-18 were engaged in both training and employment. I will communicate the latest information regarding Quarter 3 of this year to the deputy shortly.
