NEET is an acronym for ‘not in employment, education or training’, used to refer to the situation of many young persons, aged between 15 and 29, in Europe. The acronym first emerged in the UK in the late 1980s. Since then, interest in the NEET group has grown at EU policy level, and NEET-equivalent definitions have been created in most Member States. The aim of the NEET concept is to broaden understanding of the vulnerable status of young people and to better monitor their problematic access to the labour market.
(also Neither in employment nor in education and training, and Youth not in employment, education or training)
