The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported that in 2023, there were almost 9.9 million young people in Indonesia who were not in education, employment, or training (NEET). This represents 22.25% of the total population aged 15-24 nationwide.

BPS defines NEETs as individuals aged 15-24 who are not in the education system, not working, and not participating in training. This indicates a significant number of untapped potential workers.

According to BPS, various reasons contribute to young people falling into this category, including discouragement, disability, lack of access to transportation and education, financial constraints, household responsibilities, and others.

In 2023, approximately 5.73 million young women were classified as NEETs, representing 26.54% of the total female population aged 15-24. Meanwhile, around 4.17 million young men were classified as NEETs, representing 18.21% of the total male population aged 15-24.

BPS notes that the higher NEET rate among women may indicate greater involvement in domestic activities such as cooking, washing, cleaning, etc. These household chores are considered to hinder young women from continuing their education or acquiring work skills.

In 2023, Indonesia's NEET population was higher in rural areas (24.79%) compared to urban areas (20.40%).
