Insights

Résumé du livre

'Insights' is a new online interactive tool that allows users to visualise integrated New Zealand government data at a detailed geographical level. This paper provides an introduction to Insights and shows how data on children and youth at risk of poor outcomes can be used to inform policy and service planning at a local level. Two particular sections of the tool are described. The 'youth transitions to adulthood' module presents information on the activities of youth as they transition to adulthood and reveals the connection between childhood risk factors and future outcomes, both positive (participation in education and employment) and negative (NEET and custodial sentences). The 'use of education and employment services' module provides information about education services used by young people aged 6 to 19 and employment services used by young people aged 15 to 24, revealing the extent to which children and youth at risk are accessing these services, both in absolute numbers, and relative to other youth, and how this varies across the country.
