NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) refers to young people, typically aged 16-24, who are not enrolled in school, vocational training, or a job, and aren’t actively looking for work or available to start work, making them economically inactive or unemployed. It’s a significant indicator of youth disengagement, encompassing individuals who are unemployed but inactive in the labor market, as well as those who aren’t seeking work, often due to long-term sickness, family care, or other personal challenges
