The number of young Indonesians classified as not in education, employment, or training (NEET) has increased in recent months.

According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) processed by the Ministry of Manpower, in February 2024, the number of young NEETs was still 8.57 million.

By August 2024, this number had risen to approximately 9 million (precisely 8,999,883), an increase of 428,000 compared to February 2024.

This increase is also reflected in the proportion. In February 2024, the proportion of NEETs was 19.3% of the total youth population in Indonesia.

By August 2024, this proportion had risen to 20.3%, as shown in the graph.

BPS defines NEET as young people aged 15-24 who are not in school, not working, and not participating in training. This indicates the existence of untapped potential labor.

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

However, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO), young NEETs are different from "unemployed youth".

"Equating young NEETs with the unemployed is incorrect," stated the ILO in its report, *What does NEETs mean and why is the concept so easily misinterpreted*.

"Technically, NEETs do not have jobs. But according to international standards, the NEET group indicates that they are not actively seeking work or are unwilling to work," it continued.

According to the ILO, the NEET group in many countries generally consists of young women who manage households, with conditions that prevent them from working.
