Definition:
The share of youth not in education, employment 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.
Method of estimation:
The youth NEET rate is calculated as follows: NEET rate (%) = (Youth – Youth in employment – Youth not in employment but in education or training) / Youth *100 It is important to note here that youth both in employment and education or training simultaneously should not be double counted when subtracted from the total number of youth. The formula can also be expressed as: NEET rate (%) = ((Unemployed youth + Youth outside the labour force) – (Unemployed youth in education or training + Youth outside the labour force in education or training)) / Youth *100
