Youth not in employment, education or training (NEET) refers to the share of young people who are not engaged in any form of employment, formal education, or training activities.
This includes individuals who are unemployed or inactive and not participating in education or training. Education covers part-time or full-time formal programmes, excluding non-formal and very short educational activities. Employment follows OECD/ILO definitions and includes anyone who has worked at least one hour for pay during the reference week or was temporarily absent from a job.
This indicator is expressed as a percentage of the population within the selected age group.
