Composition of NEETs in Europe
Eurofound's new report on long-term unemployed youth identifies the factors that increase the risk of a young person being unemployed for longer periods, as well as the impacts of long-term unemployment on well-being and future employment prospects.
The graph above, taken from the report, shows the composition of NEETs in the EU. The largest category of NEETs aged 15–24 in 2015 were the short-term unemployed (comprising 26.5% of the NEET population), followed by the long-term unemployed (20.6%), those who were NEET due to family responsibilities (14.4%), re-entrants (9.4%) and those unavailable due illness or disability (8%). Around 6% of NEETs were discouraged workers, while the remaining 15% were ‘other inactive NEETs’.
