Data may differ from nationally reported figures and the Global SDG Indicators Database due to differences in sources and/or reference years. The share of youth not in employment, education, or training (also known as the NEET rate) conveys the number of young persons not in education, employment or training as a percentage of the total youth population. It provides a measure of youth who are outside the educational system, not in training and not in employment, and thus serves as a broader measure of potential youth labour market entrants than youth unemployment, since it also includes young persons outside the labour force not in education or training. This indicator is also a better measure of the current universe of potential youth labour market entrants compared to the youth inactivity rate, as the latter includes those youth who are not in the labour force and are in education, and thus cannot be considered currently available for work. For more information, refer to the Labour Market-related SDG Indicators (ILOSDG) database description.
