This game compares the share of youth not in education, employment, or training.

• The figure focuses on ages 15 to 24 and asks how many young people are parked outside both school and work pathways.
• It is not the same as unemployment, because it also captures people missing from training and education systems.
• The rate is one of the clearest ways to see whether a country is losing young adults between institutions.

NEET is an acronym for what a society does when it builds waiting rooms instead of futures.
