Definitions

This indicator conveys the proportion of youth aged 15-24 years not in education, employment or training in that age group.

Concepts

Youth not in education, employment or training is youth outside the education system, training or employment, also known as NEET. Unemployed young people aged 15-24 those unemployed (without occupation) and seeking jobs and ready to start work within a certain period of time. Youth outside training and employment also includes those young people who want to work, who seek jobs but are not ready to start work, who want to work but not looking for work and those who do not want to work.

Rationale and interpretation

The share of youth not in employment, education or training (youth NEET rate) provides a measure of youth who are outside the educational system, not in training and not in employment, and thus serves as a broader measure of potential youth labour market entrants than youth unemployment. It includes discouraged worker youth as well as those who are outside the labour force due to disability and engagement in household chores, among other reasons. NEET is also a better measure of the current universe of potential youth labour market entrants as compared with the youth inactivity rate, as the latter includes those youth who are outside the labour force and are in education, and thus currently cannot be considered available for work. This shows how many young people need social support and employment.

Method of computation

This indicator (according to the ILO unemployment criteria) requires data total youth aged 15-24 and of this age group number of those not in employment, education or training. These data are collected at the national level via the Integrated Household Budget and Labour Force Sample Survey.
