    How does the Ministry of Social Development use automated decision-making to identify eligible young people to invite them to join services related to the fact they are not in education, employment or training?

Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Social Development that 0% are reviewed by a human. Further information about how the Ministry’s Youth Service for NEET works can be found here: https://www.msd.govt.nz/documents/about-msd-and-our-work/work-programmes/initiatives/phrae/youth-service-for-neet.pdf This is also my response to WPQ 20093 (2026)
