Indeed, the research shows this because schools are the source of the data.
Schools can play a role, but (as ever) *investing* in poorer areas helps massively.
It's a classic compounding feedback loop. If I'm a young person from an area with no jobs and people out of work, then I've no-one to ask for advice. Why wouldn't I want to just live at home and hang out with my mates?
The problem with schools as the locus of 'advice' for young people is that most teachers don't have much experience of the world outside of formal education.
Anyway, rant over 😉
