    Youth neither enrolled nor employed

    Abstract:

    The Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) indicator—the proportion of youth age 15 to 29 who are neither in education nor employment—is regularly published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to document aspects of the transition into adulthood. The indicator emerged in the United Kingdom in the 1990s in response to concerns about the social exclusion of disadvantaged youth. This paper examines trends in Canadian NEET rates as well as the characteristics and activities of NEET youth.
