Youth inactivity presents the share of young people not in employment, education or training (NEET).
Young people in education include those attending part-time or full-time education, but exclude those in non-formal education and in educational activities of very short duration.
Employment is defined according to the ILO Guidelines and covers all those who have been in paid work for at least one hour in the reference week of the survey or were temporarily absent from such work. Young people who are NEET are at risk of becoming socially excluded, with income below the poverty-line and without the skills to improve their economic situation.
The bar chart shows the data of OECD countries in 2013. If you hover over the bars you will see the percentage of the total number of young people in the corresponding age group (20-24 year-olds).
Southern Europe, we have a problem!
