本文考虑了从2013年开始在英国引入提高学习参与年龄（RPA）的基本原理，并评估了如果全面实施，它将如何有助于改善那些不参加任何形式的16岁后教育、就业或培训的年轻人的结果，并且目前被定义为不参加教育、就业或培训（NEET）。它考虑了以前在英国和海外扩大年轻人参与学习的经验，并借鉴了作者对最近针对啃老族的政策倡议的研究证据。活动协议试点探讨了提供财政激励、量身定制的学习和强化支持的价值，作为让青年人重新参与16岁以后的教育、就业或培训的机制。缺乏执行力的；对支持机制进行必要程度的投资，以便与年轻人接触并保持他们对学习的参与；这篇文章的结论是，RPA实际上将被允许“在藤上枯萎”。
This paper considers the rationale for introducing the raising of the participation age (RPA) in learning in England from 2013 and assesses how, if fully implemented, it could contribute to improving the outcomes for young people who do not participate in any form of post-16 education, employment or training, and are currently defined as not in education, employment or training (NEET). It considers previous experience of extending young people's participation in learning, both in the UK and overseas, and draws on evidence from the author's research on a recent policy initiative targeted at the NEET group. The piloting of activity agreements explored the value of offering a financial incentive, tailored learning and intensive support as mechanisms to re-engage young people in post-16 education, employment or training. Faced by a lack of enforcement; the necessary levels of investment in support mechanisms to engage with young people and to sustain their participation in learning; and innovative approaches to post-16 learning, the article concludes that the RPA will, in effect, be allowed to 'wither on the vine'.
